Shelley Phoenix Riesing lived most of her life in southeastern Wisconsin. Shelley grew up believing that We the People of all lands could build World Peace. With hope and care we can resolve situations that build big problems in the world. If we practice to find reason other than fault we can change minds while we learn to compromise and respect.
