    The far-flung life of LuAn Keller

    LuAn Keller grew up on a dairy farm between Catawissa and Bloomsburg.  She also lived in India, Japan and China before returning to Bloomsburg. And where did she get this connection to the larger world? Possibly from her mother who... grew up on a small farm outside of Catawissa and had a drive to live larger and more widely. This is a very interesting talk with a very interesting person.
