In Short Order w/Sue Vogan

April 5, 2006

On IN SHORT ORDER, Thursday, April 6th at 9:00PM, Sue Vogan will be speaking

with Marilyn Celeste , co-facilitator for the Fort Worth Lupus Support

Group, North Texas Chapter of the Lupus Foundation of America and member of the

Board of Directors.

Although she was raised as a military brat, Marilyn Celeste was born in

her grandfather’s house in Toronto, Texas, a small Southern Pacific Railroad

Section six miles west of Alpine. Perhaps as an omen of what would be the next

twenty years of her life, the railroad’s abandonment of this settlement shortly

afterward left her with no “permanent” home.

Schooling consisted of dependents’ schools while overseas, in Seoul Korea and

Austria, and various schools stateside. A rarity for a military brat, she was

fortunate enough to have attended all three high school years and graduated at

Lawton Senior High School, Lawton OK. Further education was attained at Cameron

State College, Lawton OK, Tarrant County College, Fort Worth TX, and North Texas

State University. She received an AAS Degree in Mental Health in 1995.

After studying under the late Grace Nies Fletcher, author of " Merry Widow " and

" In My Father’s House, " Marilyn began her writing career as a guest columnist in

the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, and for ten years wrote a weekly humor/human

interest column for Suburban Newspapers in the Fort Worth TX area.

She has taught creative writing at Tarrant County College, Fort Worth TX,

survived numerous book signings and speaking engagements, and is credited with

two novels, " Sabbath’s Room " and " Once a Brat. " Her newest book, " Diagnosis:

Lupus, The Intimate Journal of a Lupus Patient, " chronicles her intensive

three-year, five-doctor search for diagnosis and treatment of her baffling

symptoms, her struggles with God and society. Ms. ’s intent is to inform

and validate other lupus patients, both diagnosed and still searching, and to

let them know that they are not alone.
