Star has long been involved with the Old Forge Library Poetry Contest both as a poetry judge and as the leader, for several years, of the pre-contest adult workshop.

Her lineage can be traced over eight generations in the Adirondack Park and five generations within the Town of Webb. She is a graduate of the Town of Webb Schools, and has been an employee at the Town of Webb Historical Association for over 10 years.
