First Sunday Prose Reading featuring writers Ann Robins and Linda Pickle

Join the Writers Guild as we feature:

Writers Ann Robins and Linda Pickle
sharing work from their farm memoirs

Linda Schelbitzki Pickle came to her family’s Nebraska farm in 1945, soon after her father returned to Chicago from World War II. Her parents worked hard to establish themselves and Linda was deeply shaped by her youth spent there. She sees these years now as a time of great change in American agriculture.

Ann Robins began writing her family stories after retiring to Bloomington in 2006. In 2019 she received the daily journals and ledgers of the family farm from 1932 to 1991. Ann swims, grows and makes things, volunteers at the downtown library, but continues to be obsessed with remembering her grandmother.
