Gordon Meader's Biography
I was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and have lived there, and in the South Shore of Massachusetts for my whole life. I love Massachusetts, especially the beaches near where I grew up, and the landscape around there. I grew up in public schools, and went finally to Marshfield Public High School. I have two siblings, a younger brother Nathaniel, who is 17, and a younger sister Kathryn, who is 12. My father, Geoff, is a lawyer in Boston, and my mother, Tess, is a special education aide at an elementary school in Marshfield.

Taylor Mill's Biography
A native to North Carolina, Taylor C. Mills grew up in Henderson, what she claims to be a “small town.” While the area of the county is large, the feel of Henderson is defiantly that of a small town. With old tobacco fields, abandoned factories, railroad tracks that still divide the town, the idea of racial division that still plagues the United States was not a new issue to Taylor. Attending public school from K-12th grades, Taylor was exposed to the good and the bad of a small town, the changing economy, and the pressing issues of the public school system.

Nan S' Biography
Hi, I’m Nan S. I like to run, jump, play, skip, and swim. I think the best part of a Hostess Lite cupcake is the frosting, not the filling. And I like to listen to 80s jams when I do the laundry.
