Birthday for Wednesday, Nov. 18
Here’s wishing the happiest of VizEds birthdays today to Debbie Moose, a freelance writer based in Raleigh, N.C.
A 1979 graduate of the University of North Carolina, Debbie spent six years as a reporter with the Post of Salisbury, N.C., before moving to the News & Observer in 1985. She was an editor and sole writer for the N&O’s food section for eight years. In the 11 years since she left the N&O, Debbie has published four cookbooks, written two ongoing columns for the N&O and maintains a cooking blog. She also spent four years as a counselor and support group facilitator for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.
Debbie shares a birthday with actors Owen Wilson, David “Sinbad” Adkins, Linda Evans, Brenda Vaccaro, Elizabeth Perkins, Imogene Coca and Kevin Nealon; musicians Johnny Mercer, Kim Wilde and Kirk Lee Hammett (of Metallica); science fiction writer Alan Dean Foster and astronaut Alan Shepard Jr.
Plus, today is Occult Day. Seriously.
Best wishes for the finest of birthdays, Debbie!
