Hello,
this is the home page for the Shearer's, from our home in Richmond, Vermont.
The picture you see above was taken on July 2000 in Skagway, Alaska, a
stop on our belated honeymoon cruise with World
Explorer Cruises. In
the background is a snow thrower for the railway.
Karen
was a volunteer for AmeriCorps*VISTA
project,
(which
has a branch in
Jim
Wells County, Texas, where Robert was raised), for which she worked on
the
America
Reads
program at the Stern Center
in
Williston, Vermont, where she is now an employee. Her hobbies include
reading, collecting antique miniatures
and miniature teddy bears, ballroom dancing, and has also been known to
strap on a pair of snowshoes for a little wintertime exploration.
Robert
works for IBM in
the Microelectronics
division.
He has finished his M.S. degree in Computer Science at the C.S.
department of the University of Vermont.
He has a number of hobbies, including fly fishing and fly tying,
birding,
computing, shortwave radio and scanning, and recently weather watching.
He, too, has been known to snowshoe and cross-country ski. He keeps a
web log, or "blog", called Beginner's
Mind.
