You're Doing WHAT? : Tales of Grit, Good Luck and Triumph on the Appalachian Trail March 18 7:00 pm At the Muskegon Museum of Art Judy Ross shares her Appalachian Trail hiking experiences, including the rich cast of characters she met between Georgia and Maine, stories of storms, floods and things that go bump in the night, and the delightedly competent and shockingly incompetent person she found herself to be. The program is sponsored by Read Along the Lakeshore, and will be held at the Muskegon Museum of Art. Read Along the Lakeshore 2010, is a One Book, One Community program featuring A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson. This program encourages all members of the community to read the same book at the same time, and then, talk about it with others to create a kind of area-wide book club. Fennville District Library, Hackley Public Library, Herrick District Library, Howard Miller Public Library, Loutit District Library, Muskegon Area District Library, Saugatuck-Douglas District Library, and Spring Lake District Library make up the libraries of Read Along the Lakeshore 2010. Judy is married to Mark, and is the proud mother of two fine young men, Matt and Brian. As a family they've hiked, sailed, backpacked, canoed, cross country skied, and bicycled. She has participated in duathalons and many running events. At 57 she ran her first and only marathon. She is now retired, but most recently worked at Hackley Hospital as a Shift Manager (fancy term for Nursing Supervisor). In the '90s she taught English at both MCC and GVSU and has an MFA in Creative Writing.
