WRITER-PUBLISHER-QUESTER
Story Gatherer
An idea person, first and foremost, Ellie loves to share stories. Whether your story or her story, connections matter most.
Moving to Maryland, her next creative adventure was a tourism publication for the city of Havre de Grace. Lockhouse to Lighthouse, which later became Havre de Grace ~ the Meeting Place, a full-color magazine featuring articles highlighting local businesses, history, the arts, events, and community members. Residents and visitors alike were given a unique eye to all the community has to offer.
For several years, Ellie also gathered stories from locals who shared both their own stories and the spirit of the community.
With the arrival of the covid virus, many things changed. They changed quickly. The magazine closed.
PUBLICATIONS
Enjoy! These editions may help fill in the gap of the 20+ years between 1998-2020! Notice the advertisers and events as well as read the editorials to know a bit of what was affecting our community that year.
The full-color magazine was published from 2006-2011. Then in 2018, George asked me to bring it back. It was flourishing through spring of 2020, when we had no idea what would happen with store closings, etc. due to Covid-19. So I quit publishing and hibernated.

There are at least 14 interviews with a wonderful variety of residents of Havre de Grace. It’s my hope that once I get this all on George’s Havre de Grace History site
( bahoukas.net ) that I can finish up the materials I presently have and possibly record and transcribe more.
