More about Jacquelyn:"Life's too short not to do stupid stuff.
I'm having a hard time defining myself right now, so I guess I can say that I'm secretly addicted to my job!
Since around 1980, I've held onto to the identity of being an outdoorswoman. I became an almost-iconic woman in the world of hunting wild turkeys-- accomplished two Grand Slams, two Royal slams and a World Slam. I traveled all over the hemisphere hunting them and writing about it.

Let me know if you see the real me somewhere. I'd like to meet me.".
