Susan Ann Garrison describes herself as a multi-faceted "free spirit" who feels that one's individuality can be a great asset.

After teaching instrumental and vocal music in the Philadelphia school system for many years, she retired in order to devote time to other interests of composing, writing, and antiquing.

She began collecting Raggedys about twenty years ago, when one smiley-faced Annie caught her eye at a local antique market. Of course, then Ann needed a brother, then an older sister, and so on, until the "family" grew to several hundred dolls.

At that time there was very little factual information on the dolls. Communication with the Gruelle family assured a historical accurate foundation for any future information and study.

The Raggedy Ann and Andy Family Album by the same author was the first collectors' guide to organize the Raggedy history.
