POSTS BY Kathleen Fogarty
Kathleen Fogarty moved to Hampton Roads in 1979. She hosted and produced "Good Morning Tidewater" at WVEC and "In the FolkTradition" at WHRV, and worked at Ramblin' Conrad's for a spell. She writes regularly for Tidewater Women magazine, serves on the board of Friends of Women's Studies and works as an early childhood music educator. And if that's not enough, she lives on a small farm in Virginia Beach, with her husband Farmer John and a host of chickens and cats. She'd go to Ireland in a heartbeat, but since Pungo is closer, she and John are planning their move. She has one grown up daughter, Skye Zentz, in Norfolk.
