The Calling - Paperback

McCoy, Teresa D.: - Teresa McCoy is a retired primary school teacher who lives in Georgia with her husband, Doug, of over forty-five years. They have four children and eight grandchildren--a noisy and lively group on Thanksgiving. Teresa and Doug have spent years researching family history, starting in the 70's and 80's with microfilmed records in the University of Georgia Library. In recent years they visited the archives in Utah, used various genealogy websites, DNA testing, and have learned how to effectively search state courthouses and cemeteries. The discovery that they both have Scottish roots resulted in three trips to the United Kingdom. Both have become active members of the America Scottish Foundation as well as the Clan MacKay and Clan Gregor Societies of America and Scotland. Teresa's hobbies include writing, reading, gardening and travel, and she loves being with her grandchildren. She also enjoys spending time at their cabin in the woods of the North Georgia Mountains. Teresa is a member of The Reading Roadies, a traveling book club; and P.E.O. which provides scholarships for women worldwide. Both Doug and Teresa are avid University of Georgia football fans.McCoy, Stephanie T. T.: - Stephanie McCoy is an advocate for the earth and healthy food for all. Her time and energy is spent searching for ways we can work together to improve the nutrition and availability of food to all in the world. An eclectic work background provided both skills and insight into our food supply and the impact we have on our planet. The idea of a locally-grown, freshly-prepared and chemical-free school meal is what prompted Stephanie to dive into sustainability and regenerative agriculture. She volunteers with and advises the Gwinnett County Cooperative Extension including Gwinnett 4-H; serves on the Food Insecurity Committee of the Gwinnett Coalition for Health and Human Services; and is known around the community as the plant lady for donating time, knowledge, seeds, plants and produce as much as possible. Stephanie is working to find ways that support what is already working; implement new programs where needed; maintain or improve budgets; and improve the healthfulness, efficiency, and environment in our food systems. In February of 2020 she founded her company, Terminus ATL, to provide agricultural, technological, and logistical solutions to the challenges we face in our global food system today.
