Hand in Hand

Kathryn Cook was born and raised in southwestern Michigan not far from the location of the two mission schools described in Hand In Hand. She learned to read when very young and soon came to enjoy research andthe tracing of historical roots to solve apparent mysteries. She chose to become a teacher of history when she graduated from college.

Trying to supplement meager instructional materials gave her valuable experience in researching and presenting historical events and the lives of important people. She found this fascinating, an interest which continues today. Kathryn can truthfully say "I learn something new each day, and I have never been bored."
