Laurel Radomski: How appropriate that WI’s Laurel started off the first issue of our Anniversary Year, as well as this last one—with her wonderful “Encora Imparo.”
Bonnie Szantyr: From Morris, CT: “Getting published in GREENPRINTS would rank up there with having my great American novel published!”
Linda Delmont: “I enjoy writing, reading, and hanging out with my eight backyard hens. I learned about your wonderful magazine after my mother passed away when I found about 50 back issues in her office!”
Lisa Hayes-Minney: Lisa publishes Two-Lane Livin’, a West Virginia lifestyle magazine. This story is “uncontested for my funniest failure.”
George M. Flynn: This is NJ’s George’s 12th(!) story in GREENPRINTS. He and Carole will celebrate their 50th anniversary in May. A collection of his stories is available from caroleflynn47@hotmail.com.
Victor M. Parachin: OK’s Victor has written over a dozen books, most of which (like Daily Strength for Daily Needs) have spiritual themes.
Wayne Paquette: Plant—and movie—buff Wayne started and runs Quackin’ Grass Nursery (“When the ordinary is unacceptable there is Quackin’ Grass Nursery”) in Brooklyn, CT.
Amy Karraker: Amy took her rural Michigan back-ground with her to Chicago, where she gardens avidly “smack dab in the middle of the city.”
Susan Portman: Coppell, TX’s Susan also had a wonderful essay (“In Time”) in the first issue of our Anniversary Year, GP#100.
Georgia A. Hubley: NV’s Georgia has numerous freelance writing credits (including GP). Her parents’s motto was: “Roughing it builds character. Life is a grand adventure in America.”
