Youre right abt Ed Mycue, --i love that degree of annotation, essential combination of local & cultural history and memoir... It was a pleasure to make this particular issue (K Gallagher, T Gillmore, Ed Mycue) and to find context for something of my own from the dawn of time!

Loved Terry's two couplet poem ...sharp - and leaves nothing out.<br /><br />Your 5 Mini Portraits sparkles with wit.<br /><br />the San Fran stuff very interesting... great that some of what went before is still kept alive via remembrance. <br /><br />Will look up Marilyn Rob<br /><br />Mr Anonymous...(well known in anthologies)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
