Ms. McGehee,

Stay maintaining your spirit. This is good, and way to relay his uplifting message. "A poet who can love you back..." "the phobia of their own sincerity," the lettered seats... keep it coming.

I hope you get to cover Timothy Egan's appearance Oct. 30.... Very interesting northwest non-fiction writer... his early '90s book called "The Good Rain: Across Time and Terrain in the Pacific Northwest."
