READINGS:
DIANE STRATTON read from her story ”Flip Some Good from Covid Solitude,” a reflection on how we can all gather some good from the unpleasant limitations of the historical Covid 19 Situation. We can do this by reaching out to others we haven’t seen in a whille and brightening their world and ours by inquiring how they have been.
MIKE RILEY’S story “The Game” told about a basketball game played on a balcony. Bob, the star, won the game, but nobody believed it. It was just a dream.
CINDY HORGASH brought a short story “Purple Heart” about a WW11 veteran who shares his medal at a Veteran’s Day service and lifts a seventy-year-old burden from his shoulders.
GAIL GAVAN read a sonnet by Professor Charles Tinkham from “Skylark” magazine.
SHARON PALMERI presented “No Guarantee,” a story about her experiences as an OB technician during a complicated delivery. During the operation, she told herself ”detach yourself from the patient to assure a clear mind. Emotions cloud technical skills.” Detachment was not easy.
