Author Bio
Kathleen M. Downey, the former features editor for Newburyport Today, moved to Newburyport in 1992. She was drawn to the city's charming downtown, the quietude of Plum Island's Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, the stately woods of Maudslay State Park, and the city's colorful citizens--many of whom she had the pleasure of interviewing for inclusion in this volume.
