After being an “at-home” mom and attending college part-time until she graduated, Alice pursued her career at the University of Wisconsin. Twenty years later she retired from her position as senior editor and publications director at the La Follette School of Public Affairs. In retirement she leads writing workshops for adults and serves in a number of volunteer capacities. In her spare time, she pedals the scenic roads of southern Wisconsin and plans tours on other parts of the continent.

Each year for the last 28, Alice has spent one week of her summer vacation on a bicycle tour, always somewhere in North America. Following retirement, she was thrilled to realize her long-time dream of pedaling across America. The book she and co-author Bobbi Montgomery wrote about that adventure is now available through Terrace Books, the trade division of the University of Wisconsin Press or online from Amazon.
