Young at Heart
This is my dear friend Alwyn reading the story I wrote for The Floyd Press about Kathleen Weddle Jamison’s 100th birthday celebration. “Are you going to write a story for me when I turn 100?” she asked. “I’ll write one as big as a billboard!” I answered. She’s 94!
“Do you mind if I take your picture and show it to our friends?” I asked. She smiled her answer.
It recently occurred to me that I should have created a whole sidebar category for Alwyn when I started blogging in 2005, but now it seems easier to list links on past posts that highlight some of her passions and accomplishments over the years, many of which were first published in The Floyd Press newspaper. This is the beauty of a writer’s filing cabinet, aka a blog.

What a wonderful woman and so glad she is your life. It’s great to share all her growing up days.

She’s really done a lot! She’s an environmentalist with a stack of commentaries that have been published in The Roanoke Times over the years. We used to write and put a peace publication together called The Bell.
