About the Author
Doris Geist always tried to make her community grow beautifully. She had many opportunities to work towards that goal. Her husband of sixty-three years was a mining/metallurgical engineer who went from one mining site to another for many years, moving her and their children into eight states and many communities. Moving to Cleveland after her apprenticeship as a stay-at-home mom, she received a BA and MA from Western Reserve University and then worked with her husband to build a consulting business. While he circled the globe, the author managed the company. Geist also worked in organizations of all kinds -- political, civic and church.
