How many times have you heard the statement when I retire, I will…?  Go ahead fill in the blank. I will take that cruise to Alaska or I will go to Australia or I will buy a new car.  I will, I will, I will.

Our guest today, Ann Head-Ortega is a doer and she’s done many of the things that some of us are still dreaming about.  Especially, travel the globe.  Ann is the first born of six in a military family. Each sibling was born in a different state or country. Her father’s ancestry was NW European, particularly English, Irish, and Swedish and raised in Sarasota, FL.  Her Mother was born in Puerto Rican, and raised in Maui, Hawaii.

Ann has 3 children.  Her eldest daughter was born in the Canal Zone in 1971. Her second daughter was born in St Augustine, FL in 1980, and her son was also born in St Augustine in 1982.

Ann retired with 22 years military service from the Florida Army Guard in 1998. She retired from the U.S. Department of Justice, in Jan 2006 with 35 years federal service. In 2017, after 12 years as a substitute teacher, she actually became a retiree.

Ann was born into a traveling family, and says, that she “still sincerely enjoys traveling.”

In this episode we’re continuing our celebration of reading and writing with a conversation with Marilyn Myrick Watson, author of the book Encore! A Boomer’s Guide to Rocking Your Retirement.

Marilyn Myrick Watson is the recipient of The Arizona Centennial Legacy Project designation for her contribution to the state’s centennial by writing five biographies for children.  Her biographies of famous Arizonians include Barry Goldwater, Rose Mofford (the first female governor in Arizona, Raul Castro, the first Hispanic governor, Frank Luke, Jr. and Poston and Hunt: Arizona’s Founding Fathers.  Marilyn was also nominated as Phoenix Woman of the Year for this project.

Born in Steubenville, Ohio, she is the daughter of an avid reader.  She received a Bachelor in Science in education and library science from Miami University. After moving to Arizona, Marilyn earned her Masters in counselor education.  After teaching in the classroom for four years and serving in the district office for three, Marilyn became the school librarian: a position she held for twenty-five years. She is the mother of four grown children and nine grandchildren.

Marilyn has also been involved in developing libraries overseas.  Her first international library work was on an island in Lake Titicaca, Peru, with the Paradise Valley Reading Council.  Later, she was involved with a small Non-profit in Kenya bringing libraries to rural areas.

While living in Germany for two years, Marilyn acquired a love of traveling, and her suitcase is packed and ready.  She is a speaker and life coach for those in transition.
