Mary SchmidtMary L. Schmidt is a retired registered nurse; a member of the Catholic Church and has taught kindergarten Catechism; she has worked in various capacities for The American Cancer Society, March of Dimes, Cub, and Boy Scouts, (son, Gene, is an Eagle Sout), and sponsored trips for high school music children. Books have always been her thing. It seemed like every time she turned around; a new library card was needed due to the current one being stamped completed. Diving into an enjoyable book made any day perfect and you would be surprised at the number of books she has read repeatedly. She drew paper dolls and clothes for them, with watercolor as her medium when painting scenes, especially flowers. She continued with art in high school exploring a wide variety of arts and loved it! Her creative side loves to be an amateur "shutterbug" and she has an online art gallery. In college, she went into the sciences of all things and received a bachelor's degree in the Science of Nursing. Her nursing career was extraordinarily successful, and she hung up her nursing hat in December 2012.This is book 64 for her with others in various stages of production, and she is included in four anthologies.
