Rosemarie Dembowski:

I have had many wonderful experiences since graduating from high school. Teaching was my career for many years in Venezuela, Switzerland and Germany. I've also taught in Northern Virginia when my husband was in the State Department.  
I was not an athlete in my younger years but became one later in life. I've run a couple of marathons, hiked many mountains including Kilamanjaro & Machu Picchu, biked a century, and have enjoyed exercise vacations with my husband and family. I have been fortunate to have traveled all seven continents and continue to love adventure travel.
I stay busy now with volunteering, tennis, gym workouts and being with family and friends. 
As far as success.....I feel very grateful to have raised happily married and successful children. Grandchildren, a terrific husband, and a "happy home" have made me complete.
