She received a BA in technical communication from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville in 1988, focusing on photography and journalism. To complete her major, she interned at the Door County Advocate in 1987 and '88. She remained at the Advocate for thirteen years after the internship, until leaving to start her own photography and freelance writing business in 2001. In 2009, she won a National Newspaper Award for a special-issue magazine she spearheaded, Taking Flight, chronicling her journey through breast cancer. In 2013, she was named editor of the Door County Magazine, where she continues today, working her \"dream job\" of highlighting this place she's loved all her life. Heidi lives in Sturgeon Bay with her two sons, Fred and Gordon, surrounded by family, friends and lots of beautiful water. Kathy Steebs was born and raised in Door County, where she met and married her husband, Scott. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a BA in English, she worked as technical writer in Milwaukee. In 2000, she moved back to Door County with her husband and son, Wil. In addition to freelance technical writing, she also writes for Door County Magazine. Kathy has been a tireless researcher of local history, finding the \"hidden\" histories of the area. Her most prized possession is a copy of Hjalmar Holand's History of Door County, Wisconsin: The County Beautiful, which she inherited from her mother-in-law, Keta Steebs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 8.9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 16, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53463954948403,"sku":"9781467119702","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/0746\/3731\/files\/BNf7JR7kAB9781467119702.webp?v=1781570680","url":"https:\/\/rbangel-store.myshopify.com\/products\/hidden-history-of-sturgeon-bay-paperback","provider":"The Celestial Starlit Phoenix ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
