[Missouri-l] Tonight's Books And Beyond

[Nancy Lynn]

What is it like to live in a cold,  snowy climate? Many of us think we know. 
Although we may have to hole up for a day or two during the worst winter 
storms, that is a state we know will end soon. Life is very different for 
our guest this evening, Karen Delzer. Raised in Southern California, she 
moved several years ago to North Dakota with her husband Curt to care for 
his father during his last years. Nothing in life thus far as she had  lived 
it prepared Karen for North Dakota winters. The word had  an entirely new 
meaning and is  beyond      anything she could probably have imagined. It 
means  being inside for weeks or months on end. What is  it like for a 
Californian to experience the severity of this extreme  weather? How does 
she deal with being inside for so long at a time? What preparations does she 
make?   Are there special considerations that must be taken before going 
outside?What other adjustments did she and Curt have to make in order to 
adapt effectively to this way of living?

Karen will answer these and other questions tonight on Books And Beyond. For 
six years, before moving to North Dakota,  she  worked as   Executive 
Coordinator for EYE-DAS,
a non-profit organization assisting the blind and visually impaired. Karen 
has worked as a medical transcriber,   does some audio editing, enjoys 
reading and running email lists and making home health care products for 
friends and family. The mother of two grown sons, she and Curt have been 
married for almost five years.

To join us tonight, please call 218-844-3388 and then put in the code 26657 
pound and you will be there. Come with questions. We will begin at 9 P.M. 
eastern, that six pacific time. If possible, please come a few minutes 
before so we can get acquainted.  We do ask that everyone mute their phone 
while the interview    is in progress. I promise you  an hour with a 
delightful  lady.

With another upcoming winter looming just around the corner,  hear about 
winter as you have read about it in books. Karen is experiencing   it as 
most of us never will.
