Kathy Connor Dobronyi is a storyteller and a retired high school teacher. Although she wrote articles for trade journals and developed lesson plans that are used teach Shakespeare by the Folgers Institute, she never considered herself an author. All that changed in 2007 when she began working with Lee Helscel, Vietnam vet and editor of the South Marion Citizen in Ocala. He asked her to write an 8-part series about her time in Saigon from 1963-64. Audience response was overwhelming. This is Kathy’s first book and it took eight years to get it to print.
