Author, teacher, and advocate of children, Penny Wagner earned the knowledge that no two people are alike and that we all possess the inert ability to “make the world a better place.”
The hero of her favorite book is the grandpa in Barbara Cooney’s Miss Rumphius. The grandpa in this award-winning children’s book is a seascape artist who allows his granddaughter to paint the clouds in the sky while telling her, “You must travel to faraway places, own a cottage by the sea, and find a way to make the world better.”
“Yesterday,” written by Paul McCartney is a reflection of Ms. Wagner’s life, not living with regrets, but recognizing that life binds our past to the present and the future. She will complete the scrabble of her life, which may be descending now, but she has eons to go as an author, a grandmom (currently just two cats), and a purveyor of truth to share with those who may still come to blossom.
When she was a child, her two older brothers enjoyed sporting events with their dad. It wasn’t uncommon for him to bring them to a twilight double header at Yankee Stadium. Ms. Wagner wanted to go too, but they would venture without her, saying, “ You’re a girl.” This is still recorded on her memory. Later, as her brothers got girlfriends or moved into college dorms, she won a place with her dad. Today she is an avid Yankee fan and loves watching the games.
Ms. Wagner resides in St Augustine, Florida, and her gentle companion is a yellow lab named Kingsley. Her favorite pastime is walking Kingsley by the sea.ver menos
