About me

On this page I will share an overview of my family, work, activities and interests.  

Watch this space for occasional updates!

Familienbild mit Hund - The Romeys - Patrick, Adam, Claire, Kathy & Rainbow

Our family home is in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Husband Patrick is an administrator for Saint Paul Public Schools (and sings in the Minnesota Chorale).

Adam recently completed his Master's degree in bassoon performance at Indiana University, and before that studied at the Glenn Gould School of the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto.  He will be spending the year ahead working on a research project in Amsterdam.

Claire lives in Helena, Montana, where she is studying anthrozoology (horses and dogs and how they relate to people) at Carroll College, and works as a "vet tech" at a veterinary clinic in Helena. Rainbow the dog just waits patiently for one or more of us to come home. 

Claire created the personal story video below as part of a high school project a couple of years ago. It contains many family scenes.  Click on the link and the YouTube video will open in a new window.
Thank you, Claire!
