Meet Holli Hamner

Holli Hoch Hamner first published in The Pine Cone, her elementary school newspaper. Then, as an exchange student in Portugal, she wrote a column for her hometown paper, The Amherst Bee. Later, when the Internet was young, she posted a short-lived blog for her 4th grade students from a checkpoint at 40-below on the Iditarod Trail.

She encourages everyone, especially young folks, to gather true stories.
Sit at the “grown-ups’ table”.
Ask questions.
Listen closely, because HISTORY IS PERSONAL.
