Park Wife
After a most unusual chance meeting, in 1952, followed by a short courtship, and then marriage to Bob, a budding National Park Ranger, Phel lived the life of a Park Wife; a life she could never imagine, not even in her wildest dreams. This is Phel’s story as a Park Wife; living at the edge of a volcano, in deep snow, in a rain forest, a high desert, in a cemetery, and often in isolation.
Dear Irma
In Dear Irma, I share the intimate letters I have written to the family members and dear friends who have since departed. Through these reflections, I want to reveal not only the vital roles they played in my life but also the person I became of their influence. This book is my tribute to the testament of the enduring power of human connection. I hope it inspires you to reflect on your own journey, cherish your memories, and perhaps even pick up a pen to write your own story.
