FAMILY

I have two children Ona and Aaron.  I have 6 grandchildren, 2 in Seattle, WA and 4 in Gallup, NM, married to Dave Barr.

EDUCATION/WORK

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker and Substance Abuse Counselor.  I work for the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation (my tribe).  BA from University of Washington in Seattle, MSW from Washburn University in Topeka, KS.  I worked for the state of Washington in child welfare for 16 years; 4 years in mental health in Montana and Arizona.  I now work for my tribe in addictions on the reservation.  Not ready to retire.

LIFE

 .  I married Bill Streitberger after 2 years of college and moved to Champaign, IL so he could complete his graduate work.  He became an Academic.  We moved to Seattle, WA where he became (and still is) a professor of English at the University of Washington in Seattle.  Traveled a lot around the world, raised 2 kids and survived the 60's and 70's. 
I returned to school when my children were old enough to go to school and got my BA in anthropology.  I have worked for the Seattle Indian Health Board, the state of Washington, Montana Mental Health and Mohave Mental Health.  Bill and I divorced after 30 years of marriage.  

I am married again to Dave Barr and we live on the reservation off the grid.  We have a small farm and enjoy gardening, home life and simple things.  I am healthy and happy.  Each day is a gift.  I have friends in Lawrence and love an excuse to visit there.  I am in great health.
