PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Born on Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama, Deborah's interest in American history began with her father's stories of various base assignments that included Pearl Harbor where she first heard the name Enterprise. Her discovery of the TV series Star Trek as a youth solidified her interest in the name. Later Deborah's brother, a NASA scientist, took her to see the International Space Station mockup at the Marshall Space flight Center. Like her brother, Deborah embarked on a career in science. She studied computer science at the University of Alabama in Huntsville while interning at a Fortune 500 company. That path led Deborah to her current position as the chief technology officer with an Orlando, Florida-based advertising technology company founded by Army veterans. While spending summers in the San Juan Mountains in Western Colorado, Deborah's interest in history merged with her love of nature and hiking, cycling, and photography.
Deborah takes readers on an insightful and riveting account of a marvelous ship. I was gripped from the first page. A must for the Navy Reading List. Thank you, Deborah!
