Bio
I'm a writer of stories and poems, and was a published author writing the book, Memories of My Grandfather. Writing with my grandfather, John Walker, who is featured in the "Weird Mystery" collection at the Bloomington, Indiana University library, located in the history of Indiana section. It is located here https://iucat.iu.edu/catalog/9248091
This book cannot be checked out because it's part of Indiana history.
I love researching my family genealogy, transcribing and scanning in old handwritten letters, and creating web pages of genealogy so others can enjoy reading them.
In 1988, I was interviewed by Maurice Endwright, the owner of the Ellettsville, Indiana newspaper (The Ellettsville Journal) for the story "Writer recalls childhood experience in cemetery." This is the same story as "Weird Mystery" named above.
I've been published in various magazines, including Reader's Digest, IVY TECH Literary Magazine, The Kentucky Explorer, Connersville News Examiner, and the Ellettsville Journal, for my stories and poems. Her story "Thanksgiving" was "Editor's Choice" one year on the site, SALON.COM, a site that has now closed down.
I've also had poems and stories published in the Bloomington, Indiana, newspaper Herald Times,s telling stories of Thanksgiving, Ghosts, and Genealogy about my family.
In 1978, I witnessed the excavation to locate the whereabouts of former President Abraham Lincoln's cabinet member, Caleb Blood Smith. The story named above, "WEIRD MYSTERY," tells about the excavation findings.
I hold a copyright at the Library of Congress, and have donated many historical items to local and state museums and libraries, including the Library of Congress. There is also a donation of "Weird Mystery" to Crownhill Cemetery in Indianapolis.
In 2007 I met with local actor Andrew Robert "Bob" Woolery, who starred in Breaking Away in 1979. Bob turned over all his family genealogy and I prepared it and turned it over to the Monroe County public library.
I've also spent long hours at cemeteries cleaning off the stones of the early settlers of Bloomington, Indiana. I have a Revolutionary War vet in my family, his name is John Combs, his Findagrave Memorial# 73293597 It has links to most of my family members.
My grandfather is John Walker, he is at Findagrave # 99976835
My other love is to repurpose furniture and other items to give it a new use.
