Susan Hadley Planck

Susan Hadley Planck exemplifies the word eclectic. Not just a teacher of one subject or one grade level, Susan hopped and skipped from teaching high school history to a combined third/fourth grade, and finished as a middle school teacher, which included thirteen different subjects, from language arts to geography to even “food for fun.” Over thirty years of teaching encompassed even some challenging substitute teaching gigs and provided Susan with experiences that stretch the imagination. Throw in teaching bagpiping and mountain climbing, the list of topics is long and varied.

Born near Chicago, living in Washington state for 14 years, she has lived in Boulder, Colorado since 1985. A graduate of Colorado College, Susan attended the University of Washington and the University of Oslo, Norway. A world traveler, sometimes with her bagpipes, Susan enjoys sharing her experiences with others. Her previous book, "Piping Hot! Tales of a Wandering Bagpiper", describes in detail her encounters with other cultures while playing her pipes.
