The 4th of July is a great time to remember our country’s freedoms and the people who have secured them. This profile of a WWII soldier seems appropriate. Mr. Beitler has been the oldest vet I’ve ever interviewed. When we talked in 2012, he was articulate and kind. It was a joy meeting him. He... Continue Reading →
Naomi Wiedekehr is so busy I felt lucky getting her to sit down with me for an interview with Senior Living magazine. We met decades ago as members of the Fort Wayne Christian Writers Club. We talked often about our writing goals. I think it’s great that we’re both writing for children. She writes for... Continue Reading →
I met Richard Vanderwall last summer in my quest to interview WWII vets and record their stories. He and his wife are sweet people and I've enjoyed getting to know them.

My husband, John, and I recently celebrated 32 years of marriage together. This article which I wrote for Lookout Magazine describes the long-term marriages of people we’ve known who have reflected Godly patience while living together. I post it here with hopes it will help other couples stay married. I just wish I had photos... Continue Reading →
This summer I've interviewed dozens of WWII vets. My goal is to write their stories and publish them in volumes according to where each lives (county). What a privilege to talk with each of them! They were all humble and still harbor a deep love for this country. Hopefully, future generations will read these stories... Continue Reading →
I like interviewing American soldiers and veterans. I think they all have a message for us of commitment, sacrifice and dedication to country. This man and his family are long-time friends from my church, First Church of Christ in Bluffton IN. It was an honor to write about him here. Thanks, Jim! ** ... Continue Reading →
This past year we were saddened to lose my beloved father-in-law, Christian Robert Reusser. He lived up to his name before passing away in October from a suspected heart condition.
