Louise Derr

Louise Barrett Derr received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from UNC–Chapel Hill. For twenty-six years she taught in North Carolina public schools. Mrs. Derr developed and presented her curricula for gifted children at numerous state and national teachers conferences. This author is also a motorcyclist, private airplane pilot, and scuba diver, who enjoys gardening and nature study. She has previously been active in Boy Scouts and the Civil Air Patrol. Traveling in eighteen countries around the world has given her a desire to see children everywhere discover science in the Scriptures.

Mrs. Derr became a Christian in 1974 and was discipled in a Bible-centered church. She and her husband, Harry, moved to Waxhaw, North Carolina, in 1999 to volunteer at the JAARS Center, supporting Wycliffe Bible Translators. Here she learned the skill of digital audio recording and is now sharing the vision of providing non-print media for oral cultures.
