    About this ebook

    Evelyn Klahre Anderson grew up in the company of nature. At a young age, she received gifts of small field guides of wildflowers and birds from her parents, who introduced her to the species growing in their flower garden and Victory garden, as well as those spotted on their many field trips and outings together. In those early years, she and her young friends enjoyed playing with some of the wild plants that they found growing nearby. In 1975, Evelyn began writing feature articles for the Erie Weekender. In September, 1984, she started a nature column, “Nature’s Way,” for the Erie Morning News, which branched out into the Erie Times-News and ran for twenty-eight years. During those years, she had articles printed in many other publications. In 1978, Evelyn began interviewing celebrities on the lecture circuit in Erie and nearby Chautauqua, New York, asking them for their personal memories and thoughts relating to plants, flowers, and the out-of-doors. These celebrities included a vast cross-section of American people of interest: Broadway stars, scientists, astronauts, even presidents and first ladies. The result, Stars and Flowers, is a delightful treasury of humorous and fascinating anecdotes and homey insights from the gracious stars whose names and faces dominated the media in the 1980s and ’90s.

    Evelyn Klahre Anderson

    Evelyn Anderson’s nature articles and photographs have been extensively published in magazines over the years. In 1984 she became a columnist for the Erie Morning News, then the Erie Times-News, writing a weekly feature called “Nature’s Way,” that with her color photography, ran for thirty-five years. Also in 1977, she began writing the “Nature Watch,” a weekly summary of bird and flower observations made at Presque Isle State Park and surrounding areas, that ran in those Erie newspapers and was, in part, published in book form in 1995.
