5 Fun Facts
Hilary was lucky to grow up only a block from the public library, and she walked there almost every day.
For years she worked as an au pair and cook, while living in San Francisco, NYC, Florence, Vienna and Paris. (One of her fun jobs was cooking at the Frick Collection in NYC!)
She taught for thirty years, from college English to pre-school; most recently she was a Head Start teacher for mainly East African families.
Hilary loves languages and is always eager to try a new one. She feels fortunate that one of her daughters-in-law is Persian and another Venezuelan.
Hilary has a very hard time with anything evenly slightly technological and constantly has to ask for help.
