On a more personal note: Originally from New York, Frau Bogard was born in New York City and then moved to Fishkill, NY until 4th grade. The rest of her public school education continued in West Nyack, New York just 20 miles outside NYC where her father worked in the World Trade Center. Undergrad at Oswego State hold her fondest memories (as an A∑X sister she met her husband there, a ∑r brother). Most summers were spent in a small town in Germany, called Pirmasens. This is still the same town she and her husband, as well as her 3 young children, call home when abroad. Weekends are for visiting family and attending church and in her freetime (which has been temporarily suspended), Dr. Bogard swims, takes yoga classes, works on butterfly gardening, visits state parks (as well as Jungle Gardens), and reads anything from new age to feng shui.
