Katherine's Story

...I'm a writer living near Annapolis, Maryland. I moved here with my husband when he was transferred by his job, shortly after we were married in 1997.
I have one son, Brandon, who lives back in Michigan with the rest of my family and friends. I telecommute to my job back in Westland, where I write and edit (textbooks, marketing materials, website copy) for a privately owned engineering training company.
My interests over the years have varied, but I have been really involved in genealogical research for about 10 years. I am passionately interested in finding as much as I can to fill in the details of my ancestry. I've found info on most of my branches back to the 1600's. I try to do more than collect names, and I've located dozens of distant cousins also involved in researching my surnames. The pursuit of more facts, traveling to old cemeteries, and collaborating with cousins is really enjoyable.
My husband and I travel alot for his job. I have been to about 40 states in the past 8 years, as well as Amsterdam and Mexico, and I ...Expand for more
usually get back to Michigan for about a week every six weeks or so to visit my family and attend meetings at work.
My son works at the same company as I do, maintaining the website, developing software, and other tech jobs. He is also an accomplished photographer (detroitconcertphoto dot com). I buy his used camera equipment and enjoy photography more and more (palmerworks dot com/ubiquity).
My husband is also a writer. He works in the communication department of the international office of a major union based outside of Washington, DC. We met online in a chat room when he lived in Minnesota and I lived in Garden City. (He is also from Garden City - small world!). We have spent the last five years renovating our house, piece by piece, bit by bit on nights and weekends -- when we aren't on the road. It is finally just about finished, and we are now searching for the perfect home to move to this spring. I guess we'll start all over.
I haven't seen my old classmates in years and year. Please write me at gerry at palmerpage dot com
