...It’’s About Time!

First time author, Nina A. Lynch, was born in Bethlehem Township of Cass County, on a farm near Twelve Mile, Indiana. She was the seventh of nine children, born to Russell and Goldie Coffing. She graduated from Metea High School. She was cashier at The S. S. Kresge Company in Logansport for three years. She married Raymond Warner, who was a dairy farmer in Miami County. They had four children-Nancy, Greg, Leah, and Hal. She enjoyed working with the dairy, and counted it a blessing and a challenge. She enjoyed working in the music department of the Baptist Church at Perrysburg, mostly with children and young people, playing both piano and organ-(not at the same time!). She became involved with this same type of ministry at the Mexico Baptist Church as well as in the missions ministry of The American Baptist Women. She saw the need to create devotional type material to be used in this area. The Indiana Extension Homemakers Association plays an important part in her life and she has been a member of that organization for over fifty years. Her husband, Raymond, passed away suddenly in 1983, and after struggling with the dairy for thirteen years, she married her high school sweetheart, who had become a widower. She and Max began a new life in Rochester, where she was a people greeter at Wal-Mart. Max has been an encourager to help her pursue the art of writing words, thoughts, and happenings of life and reach a goal of her dreams-publishing a book of poetry. She was an associate for Amway (Quixtar) products, where she met many friends, too, who promote peace and goodwill, and press on to that goal. She tried to keep all of her poems she has written in a place, to compile them some day, in a book to share. After all of these years, don’t you think-＂it’s about time＂?
