About Me
Welcome to My World
I am Diane Louise (Mumper) Klutz. Born and raised in rural Southwestern Pennsylvania, I knew from an early age that I wanted adventure — to experience what the world had to offer. For a girl living in the sixties that wasn't easy. Undaunted by my parents' “No's!”, I moved away to attend nursing school, joined the Army Nurse Corps, and went to Vietnam.
