Connie Thorn
Connie is 75 years old and after living in a large city for 71 years, sold up, bought an acreage and built a new home with her husband of 56 years. Connie has four children, three of which married, and has seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. As a child of the 1940s, she has seen a lot of changes in her life, and so she wanted to let her family and friends know of these changes and wrote a short story. Connie has never written a story before, so this is her first effort. Life has never looked back and she sometimes wonders why it took her so long to move to the country and enjoy the peace and quiet it has brought her.
