In 2003 she organized a McCormick "Nettie" Day Project for her Education 320 class and collaborated with Nolachuckey Elementary School eighth graders to collect oral histories. She engaged the community citizens in contributing photos and experiences to create Stories From the South of Greene County published in the spring of 2004. Proceeds from the project benefitted the Nolachuckey School Library. In 2005 she worked with Chuckey-Doak Middle School to develop an oral history book for their community. The initial work for this project was begun during McCormick Day in 2004 by her EDUC 320 class. The work was continued by each Chuckey-Doak Middle school student submitting to her a story to be added to the book. Reflections From the Past in Chuckey, Afton, Tusculum and Eastern Greene County was published in 2006. Chuckey-Doak Middle School received the profits of this book. In the summer of 2008, she created a book of memories and photos for her elementary school-Harden Elementary in Dallas, NC-and helped coordinated a reunion of the students who attended the school from 1924 through 1966. Over 200 people attended the event.
