A duplicate bridge opponent read each of my novels and poetry collections and said she enjoyed "A Place to Return," as a favorite. "My husband thought it risqué, but enjoyed the read," she told me. I want to read more," he said. I've lived a long and fruitful writing life awaiting compliments like theirs. How long? A niece sent me a parched children's opera I wrote in 1958 for her and her three siblings. She's a lifelong piano teacher. Had I some influence?
