[stylist] In the Storms of April

[Lynda Lambert]

Myrna, It took me two days to get it all read!
I started it a couple days ago, and then today, just sat here and listened 
to them all. I did read a lot of them twice, but they are all so good.  I am 
really impressed with the writers there - and it was really nice to see 
those I know from this list, too.

My memoir started about 10 years ago when I was writing my tenure project 
for my promotion at the college.
I went back to that document and tore out some of the things I liked and 
then worked it all over again from those pieces - like a collage. I was 
thrilled to have it in this publication!

OK, get out a Pantoum - in honor of Mary-Jo Lord!

Lynda
