![]() Terry Petersen Terry Petersen focuses on the up side of life. When she published "Between Chester and Me" in February of 1998 in Dream Weaver Magazine, she had no idea she would someday have a special-needs granddaughter. Terry admits that she learns more from this little girl with Down syndrome than her granddaughter learns from her. In her mid-fifties Terry followed a life-long dream and learned to play guitar even though her fingers were gnarled with arthritis. She has played and sung her original songs at a local music cafe, a nursing home, and the YMCA. She has written songs to honor all three of her grandchildren. Music, writing, and life can all be hard work, but she finds them to be worth the effort. Terry is the facilitator for Hamilton Writers Guild, and is a member of the Greater Cincinnati Writers League and Queen City Writers. |
