do next? That was the dilemma. Jo was seeking something unknown and unnamed until
she found her way to Africa, a place where she could live out her dream of
adventure and travel.
Remembering Africa: Moments in Time is the author's memoir of the two
years she lived in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, while teaching at an International
School with students and teachers from many different countries. Through her
personal stories, she portrays both the humor and struggle of daily life in Dar
and working at the International School there. She provides a window for the
reader to share her travel adventures to the exotic island of Zanzibar, the
Seychelles, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, Namibia, and safari adventures into the
Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, etc.
Jo was enchanted with the land and people of this amazing continent, and she
recorded events from those memorable years in a journal. When she returned to the
states, the memories of her life in Africa lingered and begged to be shared.
Remembering Africa had to be written.
The poem "Moments in Time", written by Jo, was inspired by her experiences
while living and working in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
Jo was born and raised in Kohler, Wisconsin. After earning her Bachelors
degree from the University of Wisconsin at Stout in Menomonie, she ventured out
West to teach in Denver, Colorado, for a year and work for two summers at the C
Lazy U Dude Ranch in Granby, Colorado. She then married and moved to Albuquerque,
New Mexico, where she raised her children and earned a Masters degree in Special
Education and an Ed.S in Education Administration at the University of New
Mexico. During this time she taught and/or administered Special Education
Programs for the Albuquerque Public Schools. Much of her work was done at school
sites with diverse socio-economic levels and multi cultural populations.
At the end of a 30-year career, she was ready for a change. While searching
out options on what to do next, she found her way into the International School
Network and a teaching position at the International School in Dar es Salaam,
Tanzania. After her years in Africa, she moved on to Bangkok, where she taught at
the New International School of Thailand.
Jo is now back in Albuquerque, enjoying life in the Southwest with family and
friends. Her fascination with Africa continues to influence her travels. she has returned to Africa several times, touring in Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and South Africa.
