Regardless of how much work goes into the research and writing of a magazine article, it is often forgotten and not retained for future reference. I have put this collection of my articles together because I want the articles remembered and saved for reference. My husband and I traveled in many states in the U.S. doing research which I needed to complete my stories. It has been a great learning experience for me. I hope it will be for you. Copyright 2003.
