Leslie Groves Ogden
I am a retired elementary school teacher who enjoys going through all my old journals, travel diaries and photographs in search of possible story ideas. I have written about several true but unusual experiences and shared those stories with family and friends. In the future, if enough interest is generated I may compile these stories into memoir form and seek publication. I am also considering writing a fictional version of my teaching career. For now, I am content to keep writing as a hobby. Writing adds interest to my stay-at-home hours in our small town, Atascadero, California, where I live with my husband Barry and our two grandsons. I hope you enjoy my story.
