Though I was born in Seattle, Washington, we
moved around as I was growing up, so I graduated from high school in
Cheyenne, Wyoming. From Cottey, I went on to complete a B.A. in
French and Theatre at the University of Tulsa, and an M.A. in
French Literature at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee.
Between my course work at Vanderbilt and the completion of my
thesis, I worked for four years in the Cottey College Alumnae
Office, was active in the Nevada community, and married a Nevada
3M-er who was transferred back to the St. Paul plant. We settled in
Hudson, Wisconsin, just outside of St. Paul, and near Mark’s
childhood home of River Falls. We have four children, ages 27 to
15. Mark continues to work for 3M and loves hunting,
lumberjacking, and woodworking. I am a homemaker, community
volunteer, P.E.O., and part-time lecturer in French at UW River
Falls. We are both active in the United Methodist Church and
choir. My theatrical endeavors are sporadic, but I sing
regularly with two choral groups at the Phipps Center for the Arts
here in Hudson. I serve on the board of the Christian Community
Homes, Inc. of Hudson and on the Administrative Council of Hudson
United Methodist Church, am past president of my local P.E.O.
chapter, and recently completed a three-year term on the Wisconsin
State Cottey College Committee.

After Cottey, I graduated from the University of Oregon with a
B.A. in journalism / public relations. I then returned to Cottey to
work in admission, a wonderful experience. I also recruited
students for Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri, another
women’s college. I am a huge advocate for women’s education and my
reputation in P.E.O. Chapter AL (Oregon) is for finding exceptional
P.E.O. scholarship candidates. My mother, Alberta Fry, is a past
state president of Oregon State Chapter. For 17 years, I have
raised funds for non-profit organizations including the United Way,
a historical and economic development maritime project, a private
school, Girl Scouts, and a children’s museum. I look forward to
serving the Cottey community, getting to know more alumnae and
helping more young women gain some of the incredible experiences I
had as a student.
Jim McCauley and I have been
married for nearly 23 years and our
children Kelsey (13) and Sean (11)
keep us dashing from one sport to
the next: football, volleyball,
basketball, lacrosse. Both kids are
native French speakers and we
traveled through France in 2008 when
Sean finished the fifth grade. We
snow ski in Oregon each winter and
water ski in Montana each summer.

I graduated from Cottey in 1976 and went on to the University of
Missouri Columbia where I earned a degree in business management. I
married Tom Taylor of Nevada, Missouri, in 1977 and after college we
moved to Independence, Missouri. I worked at a savings and loan as a
manager before my two children were born. In 1986 my family moved
back to Nevada where my husband is self-employed as an engineer. For
the last 14 years I have worked for the Nevada R-V School District
as an administrative assistant. I also work as a bookkeeper for my
husband and we manage several rental properties that we own.
My daughter, Brooke, and her
husband, David, reside in St Louis,
Missouri, where David is a teacher
and Brooke is in the English
Literature Ph.D. program through
Washington University. My son,
Brandon, recently received his
master’s degree from MIT’s Media Lab
and is currently living in Tokyo,
Japan.
I am pleased to have been
nominated to serve on Cottey’s
alumnae board. I have lived in
Nevada for over 20 years and hope my
experience as a “local” will be an
asset to the board.
