Landrum CarolCarol Landrum was born in St. Andrew, Jamaica, in the mountains surrounding Kingston, as Carol Charles. She majored in Public Health and became one of the first female Public Health Inspectors on the island. She subsequently represented the Public Helth Department in the Miss Kingston and St. Andrew Corporation pageant (KSAC), and was a runner-up. The following year, she was selected to act as a contestant chaperone for the Miss KSAC pageant. Carol migrated to the United States with her daughter Suzette in the mid-1980's. She was living in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, when she met her future husband, Warren Landrum. The couple recently celebrated their 28th year of matrimony. Sharing a love of travel, Carol and Warren have had the opportunity to cruise and visit several of the Eastern, Western, & Southern Caribbean islands, and Hawaii and have also spent time together in Asia and Europe. Their most recent trip was to Italy, and that is what inspired the writing of this book. This is Carol's first book as a co-Author, and it is Warren's fifth. Carol also loves to cook and was featured recently in the local magazine, Mansfield Now, in an article entitled, "In the Kitchen With Carol Landrum." She is also currently working on her first solo book, a cookbook that will include some of the recipes she has developed over the years. Carol also pursued a career in Nursing after coming to the States. She obtained her Bachelor's degree in Nursing and has been an RN for 19 years. Carol and Warren currently reside in the Mira Lagos subdivision of Grand Prairie, Texas, after having spent 12 years in Ahwatukee, Arizona - a suburb of Phoenix. They are the proud grandparents of their first and only grandchild, Mia Marie. Read More Read Less
