I just missed the new high school, because my family moved to Elkhorn in 1957, where I was a National Merit Scholarship semi-finalist; I didn’t get a scholarship from them and felt unable to take up other offers. Went to Whitewater on a legislative scholarship (BEd 1962), then failed to finish a master’s in English at Ohio State, while marrying twice there. Having taken just a year to discover that I was no good at teaching (high-school English), I’ve been copy editing biomedical research etc ever since (more or less, on and off), supplemented at intervals by secretarial work, translations from French, helping run own business, etc. With Anthony Durham, my very patient soulmate (we met in a ju-jitsu class in 1974), I’ve lived in San Francisco, Cape Town, Strasbourg (where we married in about 1977), and, since 1980, in our too-cozy old terrace house (=row house) in London. No children – by choice, as far as I know (Paul Ehrlich, ZPG, and all that). Still working, as recession has rather scuppered our retirement plans.

Following graduation I worked several years before I met my husband Tom.  Tom and I have been married for 47 years.  We have 4 wonderful children and 4 amazing grandchildren.  I enjoy many activity's especially traveling, playing in many bridge groups, bowling and singing in the church choir.  I have lived in Waukesha for the past 45 years.

Greetings to the class of ’58, with a special "hi" to all of my fellow graduates in the class of ’54 from Calhoun School. My wife, Joyce, and I were married in July, 1962; we recently celebrated our 46th wedding anniverisary.  We have two daughters, Teresa and Kimberly, and two granddaughters, Megan (1988) and Cheyenne (1992). 

In September, 1958, I enrolled in the UW-Madison where I stayed until June of 1967. While in Madison, I received a B.S. in Pharmacy (1964), a M.S. in Pharmacology (1966) and a Ph.D. in Pharmacology (1967). During that time, I met and married Joyce Ann Krueger (WHS Class of ’61) and welcomed the arrival of our first daughter in September of 1964. Our second daughter, Kimberly, arrived in 1968 while I was completing a 2-year post doc at the National Heart Institute at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. The main research effort at NIH involved drug metabolism studies in human twins.

After completing the post doc, we moved to Indiana where I accepted a position of Senior Toxicologist for a large pharmaceutical company, Eli Lilly. During the 8 years at Lilly, I developed preclinical data to support clinical trials of new therapeutics in man. Our next move was to Ashland, Ohio, where I accepted the position of Corporate Toxicologist and Director, Pathology and Toxicology .at Rhodia, the American subsidiary of Rhone Poulenic, a large French chemical company.

When the French decided to conduct all of their toxicology studies in France, we moved on to a start-up company in Decatur, Illinois, since I had no desire to live in France. I was Director of Toxicology for 2 years in Decatur until the parent company closed that operation. Our oldest daughter decided to stay behind in Decatur where she eventually married and raised our 2 granddaughters. Joyce and Kim and I moved to Columbus, Ohio, where I worked another 5 years at Battelle Memorial Institute as Senior Research Advisor.

At the urging of the National Cancer Institute, we moved to Birmingham, Alabama, where I conducted similar work as Head, Preclinical Toxicology, for Southern Research Institute. Battelle and Southern conduct research under contract to the U.S. Government and the private sector (i.e., pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies). I spent almost 20 years at Southern before I retired in 2006. During the last 25 years of my career, I worked closely with investigators at the National Cancer Institute developing new therapeutics, including several gene therapy agents, for the treatment of cancer. During my career, I held adjunct professorships at the University of Illinois (Environmental Institute) and the University of Alabama at Birmingham (School of Public Health and the School of Medicine).

While at Southern, I received a grant from the National Gene Vector Laboratories (NGVL) to organize and then direct the NGVL National Pharmacology and Toxicology Center. At the urging of a number of former clients, I formed a consulting company (Rockhill Toxicology Consultants, LLC) almost immediately after retirement.

After many years with few vacations, Joyce and I decided it was time to travel. In recent years we visited Alaska, Hawaii, New Zealand, Australia, and a number of National Parks in the continental United States, and we attended a number of photo shoots since retirement. A number of our trips have been to Phoenix, Arizona, where our youngest daughter, Kim, is a practicing attorney.
