As a writer I am always searching for the perfect words to convey my thoughts. My visit to Staples last Sunday can only be described as heart warming. I thank all of those who stopped to talk about my books and reminisce.

It has been fifty years since I moved away, but Staples remains so dear to my heart. I hope in the near future to return and donate a full set of my books to your beautiful new library for all to enjoy.
