It has been delightful to serve the
Florence community in the capacity
of Realtor for the past 13 years, and,
now that I can Notarize, my services
are growing. My family in childhood
lived in a small town, too, that con-
tracted and plastered homes. I can
still recall smells of fresh cut wood.
It’s so much of the small moments to
be grateful for. I wish to take this
opportunity to Thank each and
everyone of the folks coming through
here, and to wish You a fulfilling
upcoming Holiday season.

Siuslaw News
Florence has been my home for 64 years and
I find it the most beautiful place to be.
I have worked at the Siuslaw News for 39
years and have recently decided to retire. My
work has consisted of creating display advertising
and section covers, plus merging the work of our
news staff with that of the advertising depart-
ment. My final responsibility is to finalize the
pages and send them on to be printed at our
press plant in Coos Bay.
I also have a home-based business named
Echo Graphics. I do much of the same things as
I have done at the Siuslaw News... mostly busi-
ness materials such as cards and brochures, plus
posters, flyers and advertisements.
Recently I have written two books illustrat-
ed with my own watercolors. The first is
Grandma’s Window Shade, loosely written
around my childhood. My second book is A Skunk In The Garden- a children’s
book dealing with prejudice and the importance of acceptance.
After my retirement at the ‘Snews’ Richard and I plan to enjoy time with our
family and to do some light travelling. Also, I am a crafter so I will be dedicat-
ing much of my time exploring the possibilities of what I can create next!
