For 20+ years, Deborah Benjamin has worked in Registration & Records at MCC. She has managed grading, room scheduling, final exams, management of staff and just about everything else you can imagine that happens in an office dedicated to records. She has been very successful in her work. But, as we all know, she is most famous for her Tribune articles. She has been able to take the most mundane topics and turn them into enjoyable stories that everyone loves reading. She has a clever sense of humor and sharp wit. She once did an entire article comparing our old grade confirmation process to Catholic confirmation. It was hilarious. It was never published because it did not quite make it through the vetting process. But trust me, as a woman who went to Catholic school and whose parents still eat toast for dinner during Lent, it was hilarious. She will be missed by her many readers. But she will be most missed by those of us who work with her each day. She made working in R&R a great deal of fun. Every single day.
So the GREAT news is that she has just published a book called “The Death of Perry Many Paws” about a group of menopausal women solving mysteries. Congratulations Deborah! Your friends at MCC look forward to reading the entire series.
A description of “The Death of Perry Many Paws” available on Amazon:
Tamsen Mack, a successful children’s author, discovers her husband’s reclusive uncle in his study with a letter opener in his neck. Scattered around the room are a set of clues he left behind: a seventy year old photo, one page from his autobiography and over seventy yellowed newspapers from 1938 each dated April 1. An eerie quote from Edgar Alan Poe and a friend’s bloody shirt push Tamsen’s writer’s curiosity into over-drive. Aided by her friends and armed with sugar and caffeine, Tamsen plunges into the murder investigation. When she discovers a long forgotten crime her curiosity leads her to a connection between two chilling murders and the ties they have to her own circle of friends. When everyone has something to hide and someone to protect Tamsen wonders who among her friends she can really trust
