Kathleen F. Leary

Kathleen F. Leary, also known as Kit, was born into a family of journalists and writers who traveled the world and wrote about it, but loved returning to the old home town. She learned early on about history in her native Wisconsin when her father stopped the car at every historical marker along the way. She has degrees in History, Library Science, and Media Technology, and has worked in Wisconsin, Algeria, Ohio and Oregon in educational institutions, historical societies, and public libraries. She is a former archivist of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and has been living in Ashland since 1985.
