User-Contributed Transcription I feel that is true even from my own experience for I seldom speak of my past experiences in this town of my birth. I too was brought up in a modest home but fortunately my father was a former De Pauw University student and my mother a well-read person who cared little about social status etc and I may have had little luxuries in a material way but was surrounded by books which enriched my whole life. My writing contribution has been mainly to educational magazines in the teaching profession, (50 articles) in 7 national and state magazines. I still long to break into print with the stories I wrote when I conducted a children's story hour on radio station KIRX. I have been tempted to call on you but know how involved you are. I listened to your conversation on Leah Lowe's program and your comments on the Irish. My fathers family came from a Scotch settlement in Ireland, (County Antrim). I was disappointed to discover that only two of your books were in the city library. I wanted to reread The Disinherited and was told the only copy was out
