D.J. Mathews

Where to begin? I grew up on (now very crowded) Long Island, enjoyed Jones Beach, and went on to get a degree in English at S.U. N.Y., Potsdam, northern New York, where I met my husband. We recently went back there for a college reunion and also to Ottawa, Canada, where he actually proposed to me on the ice on Rideau Canal!
But Virginia is my adopted home and I've learned a thing or two or three about education there, even writing a book about it. I've done many things on my way to being a published author, from freelance journalist to survey taker to even doing the U. S. Census and working at Shoney's!
A cancer survivor, I'm a Master naturalist member and really interested in a healthy environment for animals out in the woods-- and myself
