Summer Long-a-coming is the only work of yours I have read. I am thrilled to know that there are more and I shall find them at once. I knew both you and your sister once. I am glad to have found you again.

Hi Anita. The last time we saw each other was at Edgewood Regional High School. We were about 17. I’m always touched to hear from friends who knew me as a thespian, farm girl and aspiring writer. — Barbara
