After two years of rehabilitation, she spent two years at St. Joseph's College in West Hartford before marrying her husband, Jared. Following his academic career, they lived in various places, including four years at Indiana University, where Ida finished her BA degree in history. In 2002, after thirty years in Vancouver, British Columbia, they returned to the US to live in Seattle, Washington. Ida has been writing fiction and memoir since she retired in 1996. A member of Pacific Northwest Writers Association, she won first prize for historical fiction at PNWA's annual convention in 2009. Her novel, Song of Isabel, grew out of that experience. She published My Polio Memoir: 1953–2016 with Lulu.com in 2016.weniger sehen
