Marisa Neyenhuis has joined Shawn Wathen and Mara Lynn Luther as an owner of Chapter One Book Store, Hamilton, Mont. Neyenhuis was first associated with the store when she served as an intern during high school. That led to a job, and in college she continued to work at the store during holiday seasons. Thus, Wathen and Luther said, she "made a place for herself in the Chapter One family album."
After almost two decades away from Hamilton, Neyenhuis returned last summer and "added her voice to the conversation about the future of Chapter One." Last month, "in the middle of a global pandemic, when every future seems unpredictable, Marisa became the third owner of her childhood bookstore. We're so lucky to have her."
Chapter One celebrated its 45th anniversary last year. Previous owners (in partnership with Wathen) included Russ and Jean Lawrence, who joined the Peace Corps in 2009. (Russ is a former ABA president.)
