About the Author
Roberta J. Chromey is a memoirist, a life-long journalist, and a recent blogger who shares her insights based on fifty years of inner work in the Fourth Way of George Ivanovich Gurdjieff. At seventy-one, Roberta continues to practice Gurdjieff Movements and lead morning-exercises developed by John G. Bennett. As a young adult, Roberta's teachers were Irmis B. Popoff and John G. Bennett, both of whom worked closely with Gurdjieff. The diary Roberta kept while attending Bennett's esoteric school in England from 1972-73 became the basis for her memoir, Real People. Roberta was born in Washington, D.C., and grew up in Bethesda, Maryland. She attended University of Maryland and Livingston College, a division of Rutgers University, receiving a BA in English and Education in 1973. In 1976 Roberta moved with her young family to become a member of the Claymont Society in West Virginia. She earned her CRTT credentials as a Respiratory Technician in 1981 and became a Registered Respiratory Therapist in 1991, working in West Virginia and Virginia hospitals for twenty-five years. For eighteen years she helped her husband, Jack Chromey, run a printing and marketing business. Now retired, they have two children and four grandchildren all living in Asheville, North Carolina. Roberta has enjoyed experiencing the cultures of Uruguay in South America, England, France, Italy, the Netherlands, and India. Roberta and Jack divide their time between their homes in West Virginia and North Carolina. They are both active members of the Claymont Society for Continuous Education in Charles Town, West Virginia.
