Freelance writer/journalist who has worked for community weekly newspapers and a few dailies for more than 40 years. My hobbies are reading, writing and now helping feral cats and strays. My passion is to tell the story of a community, its people, its accomplishments, its challenges, its reality. Every town has its characters, its politicians, its business people, sometimes they are one and the same. From the teachers to the doctors, lawyers, nurses, farmers, students, firefighters, emergency personnel, and folks who just make Trent Hills what it is, a destination and their home, Trent Hills is who they are and make life "real".
