Once again, it's time to honor our newest MOTM. February is a fun month, and the perfect month for this wonderful member to be honored. She has provided many interesting posts and has contributed appreciatively. Please welcome Deb, better known as Havenhunter, as our MOTM for Feb, 2017. Thank you Deb!
Here you go, Greg: My name is Deb Weissler & February is my birth month, so being honored with MOTM is the perfect gift! Suffice it to say, I'm "over the hill". I grew up in CA as an Army brat, moved to VA when Dad came to the Pentagon, majored in journalism in college and later married a terrific Texan. We live on a small farm in Gloucester VA, a stone's throw from the Chesapeake Bay. We have 3 children, 4 grandkids, & a Standard poodle named Guinness. My interest in Native Americans began at a young age when Mom threatened to give me back to the Indians when I misbehaved. One day at her bridge party I announced I was part Comanche. You could have heard a pin drop as 15 pairs of eyes stared at my mom! After spending 34 years behind a desk as a corporate reliability analyst, I took early retirement in Sept. 2001, 2 weeks after 9/11. It was time to regroup. I became a freelance writer, journalist, and most recently an author. I often write in my head while walking the beach & in Mar 2013 I found my first point. I stared at it in disbelief as questions filled my head: where did it come from? Who made it? What's it called? How was it made? I turned to this forum and the folks here have been one of the greatest enjoyments in my life. I've learned so much and realize what I know about lithics could fill a thimble. It's an honor to know each and every one of you. I enjoy sharing the points and fossils I find on the beaches of the Bay and its tributaries and on NC's Outer Banks, and enjoy seeing what y'all find. Thanks for the memories!
