Shaun says that the best part of life is lived on a Harley on the open road. The name of her high school was changed to Serrano High because it sounded better (Phelan is pronounced like "Feelin'). Shaun manages a program in the high desert region of California. Right now she's riding on the back of her husband's motorcycle and she'd like a bike for herself.
