She has been a regular contributor to the original Civil War Page and its successor page since 1994, and is a civil war buff, historian, and writer.

She is a member of several heritage and lineage groups, as well as the Montgomery County Civil War Round Table. Her standing invitation is, "come on down - check the blog - send me your comments and let's have fun with its history and maybe learn something at the same time."
