After doggedly learning to write my name in cursive at the age of three to meet the requirements to get a library card, I’ve been an avid reader and writer ever since. Former editor of Senior Edition USA, I’ve edited and published Senior Wire News Service for the past 22 years. As a lover of good, healthy food, you’ll also now find me over in the YUM section of this website.
