    VOCATIONAL MOMENT:

    ANN HUNT, born in a suburb of St. Louis, had a mom who worked and who wrote poetry. Her dad was a baseball fan. Her education as a nurse spanned several years, making her the oldest student in her classes. A 1992 NIH post-doctoral experience at Washington University changed her life. She retired from Purdue in 2000 and now enjoys gardening and serving on the West Lafayette City Council. From baseball to patients to sewers, it's an interesting life! And ANN is an interesting person!!!
