Melinda Jones is a 70-year-old former information technology system administrator for a non-profit, who retired in 2012. She has always been a reader and so has everyone in her family; when Melinda was a child, she used to think she could read every book ever written. She’s still working on that one! Her husband of 49 years passed away last year, but she is blessed to have a son and daughter, whose families live close to her. They are both readers, as are her five grandchildren. Her 11-year old grandson loves to tell her what he is reading and travels everywhere with a book. Melinda also loves to knit and crochet, enjoys traveling and has a trip to Hawaii coming up soon. With the smart phone and eBook reader, she can travel light and still read every single day. You are never alone with a book at hand.
