Patricia Bauer spent almost four decades in the classroom and continues to share her passion for learning with people of all ages. Bauer and her husband, artist Dave Geister, created an activity book, Making Minnesota, for children of all ages. Published by the Minnesota Historical Society Press and funded by the Legacy Amendment, the book celebrates all things Minnesota! Readers are encouraged to sketch, write poetry and lists, and draw maps. When Bauer and Geister make their presentations, they inspire the audience to learn more about their great state and CREATE! They also continue to make presentations about their Civil War book.
