Teddy JonesTeddy Jones, BSN, MSN, PhD, is a nurse practitioner and nurse educator whose initial collaboration in this project was limited to critical reading of the developing manuscript and encouragement for her friend and colleague, McConnell. She also made a promise to complete the work should anything happen to prevent McConnell from doing so. Jones' participation as co-author began when McConnell bequeathed her the research material and the partial manuscript. Or perhaps it began when she made that promise. She is also the author of "Left Early, Arrived Late: Scenes from the Life of Marcia Muth, Memory Painter," and the co-author, with Sue Jane Sullivan, of "One Hundred Doses: Capsules of Advice and Wisdom for the Health and Well-being of Farm and Ranch Women," both available from Sunstone Press.
