After her children were grown, she earned a degree in library science from the University of Houston, Clear Lake. She was a librarian at an inner city elementary school in Houston until her retirement in 1984. Ginger is very interested in family history and has generously contributed to the writer's efforts. She and her daughter Kathy enjoy bird watching and traveling, their most recent trip being to England and Wales in 2002.
