Autorenporträt

Born in Port Arthur, Texas, Mary Frances Going graduated with two degrees in music from the University of Texas at Austin. Following graduation, Mary Frances spent many years teaching music to the children of American servicemen and servicewomen in France and Germany. It was while she was in Germany that Mary Frances discovered the joy of volksmarching. A non-competitive form of fitness walking, volksmarching first rose in popularity in Europe in the late 1960s. Mary Frances joined other devotees of the sport, walking five, ten and sometimes twenty kilometers each weekend through the scenic pastoral areas outside Manheim, Germany. When she returned from Europe and moved to Colorado Springs, Mary Frances found that many communities had local volksmarching groups founded by military families who had brought the love of the sport back home with them. At age 96 and now living in the Texas Hill Country, Mary Frances credits the years of weekend volksmarching with her long life and good health.Illustrator Mac Moody is an aspiring young artist from Kerrville, Texas.
