*******************************
Who Is C. Coco De Young
Carmine
(pronounced Car-meen)
Coco De Young grew up in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. As a former educator she enjoys presenting at schools across the United States. Her work and research have led her on many an adventure. Once described as having a “compass in her blood,” Ms. De Young enjoys the open road. However, that same compass always points her back to the place she calls home - Ridgefield, Connecticut where she resides with her husband and a dog named Gabby. Three of their grown children and a grandson are sot so far away, and the fourth is a world traveler. They all do great things both near and far, and know that the best of times is when they are all together at "home."
