A family consisting of one husband and seven children kept her occupied as she absorbed the stories of her community’s settlement, its people: why they came, the hardships they endured; why they stayed, and why they left. Such as a Southern doctor and his wife accompanied by her black slave – a former embassy secretary – a trained druggist, turned farmer, and of course, the men of dubious behavior who sought a safer environment.
Intrigued by their stories, she recorded some. Others are stored in her memory bank for future telling. Some, best left untold.
Regional and local newspaper stories filled in when ‘the empty nest syndrome’ opened doors to new horizons. The ‘writing gene’ remains active in her life.view less
