Nancy spends her time as the liaison between RCGD computers and their users. She joined the Center when computing support was non-existent because computers were expensive and limited. She remembers sending printing jobs to the union and walking over to pick them up. The University was trying to encourage its members to use email as a learning tool to become familiar with computers. We’ve come a long way! Today we find it difficult to communicate with someone who doesn’t have a cell phone and a computer.
When Nancy is not at work she enjoys scrapbooking, quilting, walking, reading and spending time with her grandchildren and great grand children. She is also interested in genealogy, which helps her produce a tri-annual family newsletter that she sends out to around 100 relatives.
