Lou, so wonderful to see you in print. Your story made me laugh, weep a bit, and feel both the pain and the seed of hope. See you in class. Terry
Lou, It’s amazing how much sentiment you pack into 50 words. Elizabeth
Wonderful story. Glad you see you writing with such great emotion and sensibility in just a few words. Come back to class soon. We miss your stories. Terry
