Donna Timmons

Hi, I'm an ASU West senior - graduating in  August 2001.  After seven years of college (part-time), I just found out that I like to write and plan on becoming both a free-lance writer and a realtor.

My lovely family consists of my husband, Dr. Richard Timmons; my two children, Matthew and Nicole; my three stepchildren, Rod, Steve, Sarah; and my darling cat, Stormy.  I have enclosed pictures of some of these folks.

My husband and I love to travel and spent six weeks of the summer of 1999 in Britain and Ireland through the ASU Summer Study Abroad program.  I recommend study abroad for anyone interested in learning about a country and its citizens on a first-hand basis.

• I walked the London streets where Oscar Wilde walked.

• I stood in the Parliament Building where King Henry VIII played tennis and where one of the tennis balls was found in the rafters.

• I gazed at the Edinburgh Scotland Institute of Art where Sean Connery worked as a model in his pre-movie star days.

• I marveled at the Rosetta Stone, the Elgin Marbles and the Egyptian mummies in the British Museum.

• I loved seeing the Van Gogh, Monet and Rembrandt paintings in London's National Gallery.

• I stood on the site of Anne Boleyn's beheading at the Tower of London and watched the famous Tower ravens consume pieces of raw meat on the Tower lawn.

• I saw the battlefield at Stirling Castle where William Wallace (Braveheart) defeated the British King in the 13th century.

Do not pass up any opportunity to travel and see the world!  I am a different person because of the things I experienced on that trip!

Here are some pictures of that memorable journey to  SCOTLAND!!!!!
