After graduating from high school, I moved to Washington, DC. After living in the Washington area for forty-five years I decided to retire to Florida and enjoys some of my passions gardening, writing and search my family history.
My enthusiasm for writing soon afforded me the opportunity to write weekly articles for our two local newspapers and currently I write monthly articles for our church newsletter.
Recently, I realized some of the younger members of our family were not familiar with our wonderful family history. Therefore, they could not appreciate the struggles our ancestors encountered just to survive. They did not know that our great grandfather (Jerome Pierce) was a slave who was born and lived in a log cabin with a dirt floor. Since there are so many more stories that need to be shared I am now satisfying another one of my passions searching and telling my family's history.ver menos
