Maggie Wood, Creator of "Frankenclothes"
In addition to her feature piece about Ann and Roger Huntley, Jenn Sibert chose to profile local entrepreneur Maggie Wood, age 17. Jenn says: "Maggie's story and creative genius is unique and it was such a pleasure to interview her. At an early age she discovered her passion for crafting jewelry and clothes from recycled materials. She goes through great lengths to connect with her surrounding community despite living in a small town and taking online classes instead of attending the local high school." Listen as Maggie explains her sources of motivation, inspiration, and her life as a young entrepreneur.

Roger and Ann
They say that behind every hard working man is an even harder working woman. Behind Roger Huntley, who just retired after four decades as an auctioneer, is the tireless and indominable Ann Huntley. The Huntleys just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. In this piece, produced by Jennifer Sibert for the Common Wealth Common Wisdom project, Roger and Ann take us back to the day they met, through a lifetime of collaboration on the farm and under the auction tent.
