I grew up in Nacogdoches, Texas.  I attended Wells College in upstate New York, came back to Stephen F. Austin where I met Robert Moore. After we married, we moved to Virginia Beach, Virginia where he served in the Navy while I completed my education at Old Dominion University.  I then started my career in the financial services industry with Merrill Lynch in Virginia Beach. Upon Bob’s retirement from the military, we moved back to Nacogdoches with our two children, Joann (Joey) and Robert (Bobby). Once back in Nacogdoches, I interviewed with A. G.

I have stayed with my office through buy-outs and changes and now have over 30 years at Wells Fargo & Co and have 40 years in the financial industry.

My father, Dr. William Arscott, has over 61 years of teaching at Stephen F. Austin State University, so I still have a lot of years to catch up with him.
