Mrs. West has taught in the Alpine District for the past 29 years. She is married and has two college students still living at home. Gardening is a summer project that is one of her absolute musts, but the weather has not helped out too well this year. Mrs. West's husband Stephen is a commercial property manager in Salt Lake, Ogden and Park City. They enjoy camping and spending time with family. Mrs. West also likes to read, do all kinds of needle work and watching old movies while knitting or crocheting. The only problem with that is when one of her three cats gets into the yarn and makes a mess of it. Oh well, such is the case when you have playful cats in the house.
