Empty Nest Newsletter

I published “The Empty Nest Newsletter” from September, 1982 to May, 2007. It began when my last child left home for college and I found myself alone in the house. Originally intended to keep in touch with her, it grew to include the whole family. At the start, readership was limited to sixteen but quickly grew to over two-hundred. Each volume was composed as a six-page document on legal size paper which could be mailed for the cost of a single stamp.

I hope you enjoy reading some of them! - Jackie Jackson
