Today I welcome my stepmother Harriet Knowles and my mother in law Susan Meurling to talk about their lives during the pandemic.
Harriet Knowles is a native Texan, having been born and raised out in West Texas in the town of Midland. She had an unique experience in her high school education in that her father was her school principal. Harriet attended Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas and continued her education at the University of Texas Health Science Center in Dallas to obtain her Physical Therapy degree. She also earned a Master’s in Behavior Science from University of Texas Permian when she worked as a pediatric physical therapist back in Midland.
Harriet was in the workforce in Physical Therapy pediatric-related jobs and worked for the Austin Independent School District as a Physical Therapist for her last 19 years before retirement.
Harriet lives in Georgetown in the Sun City community with Steve and enjoys her time by loving on her grandchildren (7 so far!), traveling, and reading. She is also taking care of her mother who lives with them there.
