Those Naperville studies bore fruit when her first book, "Ruth by Lake and Prairie," was awarded a Certificate of Excellence by the Illinois State Historical Society.
An intense researcher, she's found long-forgotten pieces of history thanks to her skills at digging into Internet archives.
Along with her husband Don, Kate lives within walking distance of the historical downtown and both are active in their community.
