In college, she majored in Theology and graduated Cum Laude from St. Mary’s College, Orchard Lake, MI.

Miss Verry is owned by three cats and an ever-changing number of tropical fish. In addition, she helps to care for her family’s three dogs and, on occasion, three more dogs, three more cats, three tanks of marine fish, another tropical tank, four chinchillas, and assorted reptiles.
	Synopsis	The human race has long assumed that cats are not intelligent since they are unable to read, write, or work to effect a change in their environment. However all that changed on a certain drizzly sort of day in 1983. A woman found a roll of papers hidden in her attic. Uncertain of what she had found, she turned them over to a friend who turned them over to another friend who turned them over to a group of scientists for study. These men and women worked long and hard first to translate and then to comprehend the deeper meaning of the mysterious papers. What they learned so shocked them that the papers once again vanished without a trace. In due course and under strange circumstances, these papers reappeared and landed in the hands of yours truly, the editor. Now that I have done my duty by seeing to it that the truth revealed in these papers is given over to you, the reader, I am taking a leave of absence from my firm. Consider it a vacation. Where will I be going, you ask? Somewhere far away, somewhere… safe. Moreover, if, one day, I see a cat seriously studying me, I shall treat it with the utmost respect. I suggest you do the same.
	Other Information	Barbara Verry has had two poems and an article published in local periodicals and currently has several larger works in progress.
