It is with enormous pleasure that I introduce Issue #2 into the world. Sharing is another ethic of the Greenwoman tribe, and this issue is an excellent example. I’m especially proud of Cheri Coburn’s beautifully-wrought biography of the legendary American scientist, environmentalist, and (quiet) social activist, Dr. George Washington Carver. “GWC” (as we grew to call him in our many emails) is more than an historical figure; he is a man for today—a creator of brilliant solutions for hard times, a champion of lifelong learning, beauty, common sense, and making do with what one has. You’ll also love (among others) Molly O’Neill’s “Rare Breed” (about a man who is saving heritage turkey breeds), Michael Stusser’s “The Garden Club” (a story bursting with humor and heart), and Alissa Johnson’s “Naked Tomatoes,” (a delicately told tale of the changing landscape of love). –Sandra Knauf
