Now for all the boring vital statistics …
-
I was born August 1956 in Hampton, Virginia to Jennings
Downs and Alma Downs.
I never lived in Hampton; it was just the closest hospital (approx.
40 miles) to Onemo, VA, where my parents lived.
-
Moved to Prince Frederick, MD in August of 1972. I still count Prince
Frederick as my hometown. Graduated from Calvert Senior High in 1974.
-
Majored in architecture at Virginia Tech from 1974 to 1976.
-
Graduated with honors in 1979 from St. Mary’s College of Maryland
with a B.A. in Art.
-
Got my first job as a graphic artist at Architectural Graphics,
Inc. in Norfolk, VA.
-
Married Ken Reed on March 1981 and moved to Northern Virginia.
-
Started graduate school at the University of Maryland in 1989 and
graduated in 1992 with a M.S. in Textiles, specializing in historic
costume and textiles.
