AKA Gen Kelsang Lingpur.

My ex-husband, Paul Reed, from the 1967 graduating class, died in 1984

I worked 20 years for the US Postal Service and retired in 1993 as an executive in San Diego.

After overcoming leukemia, I started studying Buddhism and have been involved ever since.

I became an ordained Buddhist nun in 2003 and am now the principal teacher at Kadampa Meditation Center on Pima Street in Tucson.

It's hard to picture this current Buddhist nun twirling a fire baton in white sequins, but I did!
