ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Marilyn (Kincade) Kitson loves history and has lived through much of it—The Cold War, The Moon Landing and space shuttles, the Vietnam War, Desert Storm, the building and falling of the Berlin Wall, along with the end of the Cold War. Marilyn witnessed the advent of microwave and cellular technology, personal computers, satellite communications, and streaming services.

She has two grown, married sons and two grandchildren, with one more expected in July 2023. Marilyn has lived near Kansas City, Missouri most of her life. However, when married, the family lived in Detroit; Tawas City, Michigan; Oklahoma City; and finally Columbus, Nebraska before returning home to the Kansas City area.

Marilyn works for Graybar Electric Company as a Customer Service Representative in the sale of industrial and electrical supplies, primarily used in the maintenance of manufacturing plants or in the products manufactured. She enjoys music, crossword puzzles, reading, and traveling; she hopes to do more of this after retirement in a few years.

Marilyn lives with her dog, Zuzu, and stays in regular touch with her twin, Marianne, who currently lives less than an hour away. They are still best friends.
