She was a reporter for the Tulsa World. She met great people and told their stories.
Dan Allen was such a guy. His work as a poor priest in north Tulsa was legendary. Not only did he start Neighbor for Neighbor, he also started the Oklahoma Food bank.
She wrote stories in the 1970s about flooding and the victims, then dedicated her life to making Tulsa safe from floods.
She just loves to write a good story that matters. Her latest book is her best about a guy who promoted hate.

Now look what you did, Michael ! Now I gotta read two books!!
