Who Am I?

The seemingly trivial yet intrinsically deep question, “Who am I?” will undoubtedly be the subject of some future blog posts. Though some people define themselves by where they work or what they do for a living, I prefer to define myself by my relationships to others. So…Debbie Schinker is the daughter of Pam and Gary Petersen, who now have internet access and may actually check out this blog someday. She is also the sister of Dawn Petersen, who resides in Boston and is the city mouse to Debbie’s country mouse persona. She is the devoted and adoring wife of beloved geek John Schinker (never to be referred to as “hubby.”) She is the proud mother of Emily, born at the tail end of the 20th century, and Megan, born at the dawn of the 21st. She is also a Creative Memories Unit Leader, friend, singer, Lutheran, reader, memory preservationist, ponderer, and lover of life to reference just a few more of the titles by which society might strive to identify her.  (If you’d like to contact Debbie directly, you can email her at dschink at neo dot rr dot com.  Thanks for this suggestion, Kimberly!)
