Kathleen Airdrie

Kathleen's freelance articles and photographs have been published in a Canadian history publication and "Seasons", the Ontario Naturalists' magazine.

While employed at a community newspaper, she worked at its production, proofreading, and some editing. She wrote about local issues and events and covered many of those with her photography. In one of that paper's special editions, "Heritage Highlights", she presented several articles on the histories of area villages and people. As a result of that work, she became involved in recording personal stories, particularly those of seniors and Native people.

For many years Kathleen worked as staff person and as volunteer with community service and social organizations, often as co-ordinator and/or secretary, as well as counsellor.

Kathleen has been involved in tracing her family's genealogy. She put together a preliminary book that presents not just names and dates, but also old photographs and extensive social histories.

Among her interests are family, gardening, photography, and cooking.
