About the Authors
Just a little bit of information about your authors to this great resource for Jacksonville, Florida’s Northside residents and future residents.
My name is Jolene and my daughter, Mandy, will be doing most of the posts and information gathering for this website. We will be roping in other members of the family as we have 4 generations of our family have and are living within the Jacksonville area. We know a little bit about the history and resources available.
I am a mother of 4 children ranging in ages from 30 to 13 and I also have 2 granddaughter and a grandson. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats between all of us and family times can get a little hectic.
Cheers!
