Great story and VERY worhtwhile!

Thank you. I had a mini-debate with my wife about whether this was "worthwhile" as a weekly column. I really had intended to do a Hillary piece. Done the research. Done the planning. Just couldn't stand to write it.

Then, my wife reminded me that the last time I wrote a "personal" rather than a "political" column, that the reactions were quite positive and folks appreciated the work more, the personal way.

I am pleased by all the fine memories about the beginnings of a love of books that my small story engendered. Thank you.
