ROSEMARY E. BACHELOR - by IPC Photo, Inc. (Concord, Ont., Canada)

Ms. Bachelor was a prize-winning journalist and feature writer with the Gannett Group of newspapers who went on to own her own publishing company and carve out a reputation as an historian and genealogical publisher. While with Gannett she was part of a Pulitzer Prize winning journalism team honored for a series of articles titled "On the Road to Integration."

Her latest book is Sarah Palin's Piece of the American Pie, available from Amazon in paperback and on Kindle. Her website is also linked to her blog titled "Spinning Sarah".

Rosemary has interviewed Duke Ellington, Neil Diamond, Malcolm Forbes, Alvin Ailey, then vice-president Hubert Humphrey, former CEOs of such companies as Woolworth, Merrill Lynch, First Boston Corp., National Bank Note Co., TWA and General Products, leaders of such non-profit groups as The National Kidney Foundation and the New York City YWCA, editors at Seventeen and U. S. News and World Report, people in film production and distribution, and an animal importer who took her to lunch accompanied by a chimpanzee in a three-piece suit and seated at a window table in a New York restaurant.

She is a graduate of the genealogy seminar sponsored by the National Archives and the National Genealogical Society in the United States, has led workshops at nationwide genealogical conferences and has had articles published in the Mayflower Quarterly and other publications devoted to history and genealogy. She was named a Kentucky Colonel in recognition of her service to Carpenter family genealogists and is currently editor of the eight-volume Rice Family Book Project.

Rosemary received a Chamber of Commerce "Business of the Year" Award for privately funding Maine's first business incubator to provide start-up business services in an economically depressed area of Maine.

She descends from three Mayflower pilgrims and numerous pre-1650 immigrants to New England. An ivy league university graduate, she is an avid and prize-winning downhill ski enthusiast, loves everything French and escapes to a condo within the old walled city of Quebec to do much of her writing and editing. Rosemary is also an ordained deacon in the Old Roman Catholic Church of North America.

Rosemary is a contributing writer in several subject areas on Suite 101.

She welcomes correspondence from readers but regrets that she cannot personally answer each email received.
