I will help out some and if you put the pictures up on the website I will
encourage my many well-meaning students to contribute also.
There was a line in a poem by Carolyn Forche that I read recently and it
was:
There is nothing that one man [sic] will not do to another.
And we can add:
There is nothing that one man [sic] will not do for another.
(I expect one of these to be the beginnings of a JY rumination, hey John?)
