Having been born in Texas, I enjoy returning there on occasion to take care of my Story Circle responsibilities, and to visit a precious grandson. I have been an SCN member for many years, as well as a contributing editor to the Story Circle Journal and a member of the board. In 2005, I became president for a two-year term. I also am a member of the Internet Chapter, where I have belonged to both reading and writing circles. Currently, I co-lead an OWL-Circle group near my home. Of all of my SCN activities, I particularly relish writing book reviews. Doing so has made me both a more careful reader, as I seek to capture the essence of a book, and a more adventuresome one, as I enjoy the fun of sharing a new experience. In the past, I taught college economics in Texas and Georgia. Now I enjoy writing, reading, and gardening at home in Bainbridge, Georgia, where I write a column on food and history for the local newspaper.
