JEAN BAARDSEN

I was born in Moosup, Connecticut in 1947.  My father made his career in the U.S. Air Force.  Our most interesting postings were in England and Morocco.  I married Ed Baardsen in 1970.  A yearning for adventure led us to life on a sailboat, Tropic Moon, from 1978-92.  Now settled in eastern North Carolina, I spend my days immersed in artwork and writing.
