Episode 26 Celebrating Reading & Writing with Librarian & Hula Dancer Sharon Schwerzel

We’re continuing our celebration of the love of reading and writing from National Book Lover’s Day on August 9th through National Author’s Day on November 1st.  Today it is my privilege to present my conversation with Sharon Schwerzel.

Sharon is a fourth generation Floridian who grew up in Tampa where she was able to run around barefoot, play on the nearby beaches, camp in parks and national forests before the modern-day camping and RV revolution, and she participated in the Girl Scouts. She earned her bachelor of science and Master of science degrees at Florida State University.  She taught chemistry at a local high school in Tallahassee, Florida and in the freshman program at Florida State.

Along the way Sharon found a summer job in the library at FSU and started off in a new direction, earning a Master of Science degree in Library Science at San Jose State University.  Later she’s worked at several well- known university libraries including Cornell University, Stanford University, Ohio State University and Florida State University.  In over 40 years in academic libraries she’s proud of her opportunity to teach, help create an online catalog, beta test science databases, see the growth of electronic journals and books, help design a library renovation, help move 2 libraries and be part of building a library.

Sharon’s interest in ethnic dance provided her with more opportunities to perform with 4 different dance groups and teach hula and exercise classes at various locations around Tallahassee.

An avid reader since childhood, Sharon has read mostly fiction, widely on the topics of business and psychology, and is now exploring her growing interest in Florida history.

Episode 22 Marilyn Myrick Watson Author of Encore! A Boomer’s Guide to Rocking Your Retirement

Celebrations big and small are always our focus.  While it may be difficult in this moment of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) happy days are possible.

In this episode we’re continuing our celebration of reading and writing with a conversation with Marilyn Myrick Watson, author of the book Encore! A Boomer’s Guide to Rocking Your Retirement.

Marilyn Myrick Watson is the recipient of The Arizona Centennial Legacy Project designation for her contribution to the state’s centennial by writing five biographies for children.  Her biographies of famous Arizonians include Barry Goldwater, Rose Mofford (the first female governor in Arizona, Raul Castro, the first Hispanic governor, Frank Luke, Jr. and Poston and Hunt: Arizona’s Founding Fathers.  Marilyn was also nominated as Phoenix Woman of the Year for this project.

Born in Steubenville, Ohio, she is the daughter of an avid reader.  She received a Bachelor in Science in education and library science from Miami University. After moving to Arizona, Marilyn earned her Masters in counselor education.  After teaching in the classroom for four years and serving in the district office for three, Marilyn became the school librarian: a position she held for twenty-five years. She is the mother of four grown children and nine grandchildren.

Marilyn has also been involved in developing libraries overseas.  Her first international library work was on an island in Lake Titicaca, Peru, with the Paradise Valley Reading Council.  Later, she was involved with a small Non-profit in Kenya bringing libraries to rural areas.

While living in Germany for two years, Marilyn acquired a love of traveling, and her suitcase is packed and ready.  She is a speaker and life coach for those in transition.
