Quigley, Marilyn Estes: - Marilyn's five years at Ritter Elementary were only the beginning of a lifetime spent in schools: Willard Elementary, Reed Junior High, Central High School, Hillcrest High School, and Missouri State University, where she earned a Bachelor of Science in English Education. Marilyn taught high school English five years at Central High School before returning to MSU to receive her master's in English. After ten important years focused on her husband and two sons, Bryan and Collin, she returned to teaching composition, literature, and creative writing at Evangel University for thirty-four years before retiring. Along the way, Marilyn published short stories, articles, and four longer works: From Pit to Palace (a children's musical), Hell Frozen Over: The Battle of the Bulge, Journey to Elsewhere, and this novel, My War at Windsor School.Marilyn is a member of the Springfield Writers Guild. She loves cruise travel, book club discussions, socializing with friends, teaching, writing and editing, studying the Bible, playing violin in an acoustic band ministry, and visiting her family-including three grandchildren. She and her husband, Ed, are active members of Schweitzer Church.
