Barbara J. Linsley

Barbara was born in Upstate New York. Her educator parents took her on many trips as a child and taught her a love of history, geology, geography and reading. After four years of college in Arizona, she returned with her two mutt horses back to a run-down farm house in Upstate New York, where she was able to find a job teaching fifth grade.

Barbara continues to travel, learn and teach. She spends time not in school photographing, playing with her horses and dogs, walking the hills and valleys and reading.
