Later her Uncle Charles Guenther, an internationally known poet, translator and columnist for a large St. Louis newspaper, invited her to join a poetry group he founded. He became her mentor and she continued to write. Later with the encouragement of her current peers in a local writers group in Illinois where she currently resides, she started writing short stories. Her tradition from her early writing years was to include a new Christmas poem in with her cards each December and this continues. She has a history in dance and skating, competing at a National level in Dance and was a member of a Middle Eastern dance company in St. Louis for over 17 years. Now retired from her career as an insurance customer service representative she has the time to write and reflect on her love of nature, archaeology and the adventures of her ancestors.
