Catherine does not profess to be a professional literary writer; indeed she states that more often than not, she has been a scribbler, not a scribe.
However, Catherine has been involved in some mode of writing most of her life. As examples, she developed a nurse aide manual, helped write nursing care projects, updated parent/teacher organizational data, collaborated on a constitution for a family investment club, and made many, many family ‘to do’ lists.
The genesis of A Legacy for the Eight of Us came in part from a family cookbook published by Catherine, The Murphy Family Cookbook. The cookbook contained historical data that was well received. This affirmation reinforced the author’s determination to work on her goal of writing about her early family history.
Catherine is next to the oldest in a family of eight. Her younger brother and sisters have no memory of the early family life. She wrote the Legacy primarily for them; but the author has come to realize that it is also written for her own children and succeeding generations in the Murphy family.
Catherine and her husband retired to the Carson Valley in Nevada. She is now widowed. Catherine’s life has been and again continues to be happy and fulfilled, productive in many ways.ver menos
