Comments
I spent twenty-four years in medicine before exploring writing in the MFA program at Hamline.after obtaining an English/Philosophy double major at St. Catherine's University. CNF as a chosen genre was easy for me. I want to explore the history of my family and record it for future generations, but do so with the humor and honesty it deserves.
