Donna Vander Griend, after a lifetime of teaching, speaking, and mentoring, now holds membership in the oldest of four living generations. LINES: Stories and Sketches is her way of downsizing. She passes on this accumulation so others might hold on or let go, wrestle and rest, take another step, embrace the unpredictable or settle on an answer, and find the funny. She and Orv have been married over sixty years, which has given their four children time to gift them with nine grandchildren and their first great grandchild. Consequently, she has also authored the book Out of the Mouths of Grandbabes.
