In 1972 I taught myself the letters of calligraphy, and soon after when I felt confidant in this new hobby, I started writing poems in calligraphy. I collected them in a booklet and gave copies to my family and friends. Encouraged by them and my husband, Gilman, I wrote a second book. Many times I thought I would like to combine all the poems of general entertainment into one book.
With the help of my good friend, Sonja White, who helped me with advice and typing, and Bill Vining, my printer for many years, the time was right to make my dream come true. I thank Sonja and Bill for their patience and skill in working on this project.ver menos
