New York born and raised, but lived in Texas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Nebraska, and Japan (military). My interests are walking, reading, writing (of course), and genealogy. I'm a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution.The history of our country is very dear to me. My New York roots are full of Patriots. George Washington stayed at one of my Patriot's taverns. You never know what you're going to find when you shake your tree! I appreciate honest feedback, otherwise I can't improve. I LOVE to write and read essays, and I'm working on magazine articles. I read fantasy, but nonfiction is what I love best. Thanks, Debi
