A native of Troy, Ohio, she published her first 2-page newspaper at the age of 10 — shortly after her 7-page illustrated novel at age 8. She graduated from the College of Mount St. Joseph in Cincinnati and worked for newspapers in Ohio; Fort Wayne, Ind.; and Kentucky covering government, business, religion, travel and the arts, even pinch-hitting as a basketball desk writer.</p> <P>She has won a William Allen White award for editorial writing and either first or second place in the Florida State News Editors for arts criticism for the last four years. That does not make writing a solid arts story one whit easier for her.</p> <P>Her rewards for editing At Home's home and garden topics are meeting resourceful, talented people and having good food in her own back yard. She grows lettuce, bananas, papayas, tomatoes, mangoes and pineapple (the easy crops), skis badly and loves to cook as long as it doesn't involve Brussels sprouts. </P>en-ushttp://www.marconews.com/photos/2012/sep/21/416719/Naples Philharmonic Center president and CEO Kathleen van Bergen speaks about her organization loaniFri, 21 Sep 2012 20:40:25 -0000http://www.marconews.com/photos/2012/sep/21/416719/http://www.marconews.com/photos/2012/apr/14/390396/With puffs of gas and a whoosh of flame, some 15 hot-air balloons rose over the horizon at the ImmoSat, 14 Apr 2012 15:50:16 -0000http://www.marconews.com/photos/2012/apr/14/390396/http://www.marconews.com/photos/2012/apr/14/390394/With puffs of gas and a whoosh of flame, some 15 hot-air balloons rose over the horizon at the ImmoSat, 14 Apr 2012 15:50:16 -0000http://www.marconews.com/photos/2012/apr/14/390394/http://www.marconews.com/photos/2011/dec/12/364487/[img/photos/2011/12/12/520111212100957003.JPG]Mon, 12 Dec 2011 18:16:19 -0000http://www.marconews.com/photos/2011/dec/12/364487/http://www.marconews.com/photos/2011/dec/12/364488/[img/photos/2011/12/12/520111212100958001.JPG]Mon, 12 Dec 2011 18:16:19 -0000http://www.marconews.com/photos/2011/dec/12/364488/http://www.marconews.com/photos/2011/dec/12/364489/[img/photos/2011/12/12/520111212100959001.JPG]Mon, 12 Dec 2011 18:16:19 -0000http://www.marconews.com/photos/2011/dec/12/364489/http://www.marconews.com/photos/2011/aug/04/326921/Southern Home grapes like these Gordon Skrede grows are even delicious before they're ripe.
