 Family information:  I was born in Neenah, Wisconsin in 1964 to Glenn Grant, a machinist/gunsmith, and Dorothy Grant, a homemaker.  In 1972, my family moved to Sheboygan, Wisconsin, where I spent the rest of my childhood and adolescence.  I have an older brother, Tim, a computer network administrator and former Major in the U.S. Army.  In July, 1990, I married Steve Haworth, a fellow Marquette alum.  Steve is a Biomedical Engineer/Research Scientist at the Medical College of Wisconsin/VA Medical Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  In 1997, our son, Marcus Timothy Haworth, was born in Waukegan, Illinois.  Currently, Marc’s aliases include Captain Hook, Sir Lancelot, St. George, General Grant -- Union Defender, and Green Army Man. 

 Hobbies and interests:  Green Bay Packer and Wisconsin Badger football.  What else is there?  (Ok, in the off season, I enjoy fishing, camping, hiking, canoeing, visiting Chicago’s outstanding museums with our son, sports of all kinds (I am a “fan”), travel, and the theatre.   Did I say I like to fish?)

 Favorite Spot: At home with my family.  After that, anywhere in a canoe on a freshwater lake with my family, followed closely by any hiking trail in the mountains that does not require specialized climbing equipment.
