Went to college and medical school in Arkansas, practiced rural family medicine for 12 years. After divorcing, migrated westward. I still like horses, have developed a taste for long slow distance, and have crewed my husband, Scott Weber, on numerous treks across Death Valley on foot (in July).

Major accomplishments/events since high school
Helping to raise three fabulous children. See my daughter, Hannah Eakin's picture on the Poetry Out Loud website (Arkansas state champion). Ben just finished a solo trek across Death Valley (youngest crosser, first diabetic). Dylan is an accomplished trombone player and writer. 

Hobbies/personal interests
Ultramarathoning, although my times are slow, slow, slow. I'm currently the mother of a yearling registered paint gelding, who is teaching me that I'm not always in control.
