FM #764 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 764 in the series.
This session shares my conversation with local area author Marjorie Turner Hollman. Our conversation was conducted via conference bridge to adhere to the ‘social distancing’ requirements of this pandemic period.
We had an easy conversation catching up with Marjorie since we had last talked in Sep 2020. Marjorie has just released a new book now, My Liturgy of Easy Walks. More of a memoir than an easy walk guide, she gets into the back story on how and why she developed easy walks in a series of essays as she recovered.
Let’s listen to my conversation with Marjorie which runs about 20 minutes.

| "Walk off the Cookies" - Sunday, Dec 26 |
"Getting outdoors is not just for those who can climb mountains. Finding Easy Walks, that is, not too many roots or rocks, relatively level, with something of interest along the way can offer great joy, regardless of our mobility or lack thereof. Come join us to get encouragement to be more active, learn some simple steps to make yourself safer outside, and much much more.About the Leader: Marjorie Turner Hollman is a personal historian who loves the outdoors and has completed four Easy Walking guide books including her newest book Finding Easy Walks Wherever You Are. A native Floridian, she came north for college and snow! A freelance writer, she has appeared on Boston’s WCVB Channel 5 TV news magazine show, Chronicle, the Boston Globe, local radio and cable TV shows, and been published in local, regional, and national publications."
