Biographical/Historical Sketch: Freddie Lynn Bass was born on September 29, 1949, in Pasadena, Texas. She attended the public schools there until the family moved to Prentiss, Mississippi, when she was in her teens. She graduated from Prentiss High School with honors and attended Pearl River Junior College where she also graduated with honors in drafting. Since then she has been employed by the Mississippi Highway Department as a draftsman.

She is presently working on an illustrated children's book on mythological creatures. This collection consists of the original black ink drawings and text of a booklet entitled "Common Herbs in Colonial Gardens," which was prepared and published by the Ensign John Sheldon Chapter of the Colonial Dames as a chapter project. Freddie Lynn Bass researched and wrote the text in addition to drawing the illustrations. The booklet contains information about the history and usage of forty herbs during and prior to the American Colonial period. In addition, twelve recipes using these herbs are included. |
