Anne Wiegerink Anderson was born in Washington D.C. and spent her childhood years in Ridley Park, PA. It was a big day when her family bought a black and white television. When Anne was in fourth grade, her parents gave her a cocker spaniel for Christmas. From then on, Anne became a dog lover. She earned the Doctorate of Education Degree from Northern Illinois University.After two years of teaching elementary school in Michigan and Colorado, Anne returned to Holland, Michigan and got engaged to Charles Anderson, a popular disc jockey. They were married in 1963 and spent more than 50 happy years together. They had two sons, Charles, Jr. and Chad.In 1965, Charles left the radio station job and went to college. He graduated in 2 1/2 years and taught in the junior high school in Plainfield, IL. Eventually, he became an elementary school principal in Plainfield.Anne published, My Griefcase, a couple of years after Charles passed away. When the shock of his death wore off, Anne realized people were so uncomfortable at wakes and funerals, that they didn't know what to say or more importantly what NOT to say. My Griefcase covers the subject in detail. Anne published, Lessons from Charley, in 2019. This is the story of a man who was wise beyond his years. He was known for his quiet, quick wit, his problem solving and compassion. All this leads to Anne's third book, Cubbie the Therapy dog. It was love at first sight when Anne saw Cubbie's picture in the paper as a new pup to be adopted. From the time he became a part of her life, they were inseparable. His calm demeaner and absolute love of all people led to Anne enrolling him to be a therapy dog. This is truly his story, told in his words.
