Bio: Earl and I have lived in Nelson, British Columbia for 30 years and raised our two children, Jesse and Finn, here. Earl retired from teaching High School English five years ago and spends most of his time playing banjo, guitar and now mandolin. I can’t seem to retire and write regularly for an online newspaper and volunteer at a provincial park interpretative centre. Nelson’s a beautiful small town on a big lake in the mountains…we can say we have lived in two of the most gorgeous places in the world. Thanks Traverse City and all my old friends for giving me such a great start in life. Of course, I couldn’t forget Mr. Weaver…or the dance classes we took, where, above Votruba’s? Such great days riding our bikes everywhere with no one worrying about us as long as we were home by the time the street lights went on.
