This Wisconsin woman graduated from UW-Madison in 1983 with Social Work and Sociology degrees. She spent three exceedingly educational years in Nagasaki, Japan. For the last twenty, she's lived with her family in the home she grew up in, just outside Madison. Katherine is a reporter for her hometown newspaper, administrative assistant, and facilitator of a reminiscence writing class. She loves Bucky Badger, lavender, mysteries, the Packers, dark chocolate, and the sight, sounds, and smell of cows. Not necessarily in that order.
