Autor

Michele Makros was born and raised in Akron, Ohio. She is a Kent State University graduate and holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in graphic design. Her professional positions include art director for Hesselbart & Mitten, Inc., Failawn, Ohio, and President and CEO of ICONart, Inc., Copley, Ohio. Her awards include several ADDY citations of excellence, an Ace Award, a Ben Franklin Honorable Mention, and a Cleveland Communicators' Certificate of Merit for Outstanding Achievement of Women in Communications. Michele chose early retirement to take care of her aging mother. Eventually, inheritance of World War II love letters inspired her to research and write about the SS Marine Wolf. She was also inspired to fly as a guardian for Honor Flight because nothing, in her opinion, is more rewarding than providing veterans an opportunity to see their memorial before time runs out as it did for her dad.
