Thanks for your help and input!

I would guess from your personal page, you are female, LDS, and live in Utah (one of my favorite states), and possibly teach at BYU or something in that range. I love the range of your interests. I would be curious if you would share what you teach! If you find this too personal or the wrong portal, feel free to drop the subject or redirect it!

I am also female, teach (ceramics) at a public jr. college, originally a Mormon school, and my oral family history places me as a non-LDS member of the Joseph Smith family, going back to Palmyra NY. I consider myself a Tibetan Buddhist particularly since one is admonished to join as many non-exclusive religions as one feels comfortable with.

Feel free to drop by for a tour of the EAC (Thatcher) pottery studio any time!

Just saw your note today. I haven't seen any editing with your name yet, however. Your assumptions are very astute! I'm a BYU alum in history and archaeology and did some fieldwork in the Four Corners area early in my career. Since then, I've primarily done research and statistical and organizational analysis with some writing. I taught briefly at a community college level. In my spare time -- I've also been the President of a pottery co-op for over ten years. We teach quarterly clay classes, so my hands are always rough and dry. Hope you find some time to edit!

Well you have had a very interesting life and can be proud of your achievements. I did start to gather some data successfully, but seem to have some problems with some pages coming up in "gobbledygook". I am not sure if this is my operating system or incompatible computer components or what. It is a hindrance at any rate. I also have a backlog of household projects, and a truck that has needed repairs, and so it goes. I tend to be persistent and patient, so maybe it will eventually start to come together! Thanks for your encouragement! BDCArmstrong (talk) 06:22, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
