[USMA:28348] author of Edmonton article?

[Bill and/or Barbara Hooper]

I found the following bio. for the author of that article in the 
Edmonton Journal - I think. I did a Google search and found only a 
listing for this name with the middle name spelled "Neilsen" instead of 
"Neilson". Yet the bio (reproduced below) shoed her name as "Nielson". 
However, I have retraced my steps and have not been able to reproduce 
the error. This woman is a writer and editor and lives in Edmonton, so 
it seems reasonable that I have the right one. I wish the source would 
have given me an email or mailing address. it might have been 
interesting to write to the lady. I may try that by writing her in care 
of the Edmonton Journal.

Alberta in 1989. She studied English at the University of Alberta,

Sensibilities , the publication of the Jane Austen Society of 
Australia, and is the illustrator of A Collection of Letters by Jane 
Austen , published by the Juvenilia Press at the University of > Alberta.

Laura’s work as a Subject Editor with The Canadian Encyclopedia allows 
her to combine her passion for communication with an interest in 
things of a more technical nature, editing articles in the areas of 
science, technology and medicine. Laura is also co-writer of 
Historica’s column, “Dejà View,” published by Southam newspapers. 
Besides reading and writing, Laura enjoys drawing, painting, sewing 
and has recently taken up quilting.
