Renton, Washington, USA
I was born in New Castle, Pennsylvania, in 1933 in the ’midst of the Great Depression. I enjoyed my childhood immensely. I was not much of a reader or student as a small child, but I was keen observer of others and myself. Although I enjoyed reading poetry, my own poetic endeavors came much later. I was a very late bloomer and did not become enamored with words until my forties. I moved to Pullman, Washington, in 1967 to serve as a librarian at Washington State University. I loved the Northwest and made it my second home. I am now retired and live in Renton, Washington, a lively community abutting Seattle; thus, my life has been almost equally divided between the East and West Coast of the U.S.A. I seek balance in both life and art.

PROFILE - PATRICIA GEORGE
I was born in New Castle, PA and graduated from Westminster College in nearby New Wilmington. I received a bachelor’s degree in English with a master’s degree in education.
While serving as a missionary in China, I wrote many poems and articles. When it was time for my grandson to be born in 1985, I began writing children’s stories.
Besides the births of my three daughters, my time in the Peace Corps and my many trips to China were the most exciting, enlightening adventurous experiences in my life.
PROFILE - ELLA MAE FORREST
Ella Mae Forrest was born in Sharon, PA. She married David Forrest in 1951 and had two daughters. She was self-educated by doing the same courses as her daughter when she attended Westminster College.
She worked as a Court Clerk and an insurance agent while never ceasing to take courses on a variety of topics. Her out-going, gregarious personality gave her many ideas for poems.
