I remember your mom. You’re fortunate to have had her with you for a good part of your lives. Nice memories.

Lovel Photos. Your genes didn't drop from the sky. It's easier to correct than being corrected. We must take into consideration the times and if one had the opportunity to be taught punctuation.

Ed, yes, I agree when words when presented to the reader should be punctuated and make the flow much more enjoyable to the reader.

I am not a reader of novels although have read a few in my lifetime, and proud of our granddaughter Kate in her third-year English teacher at Lincoln High School.

We’ve lost all of my mother’s generation now, and it’s the loss of a culture as well as our loved ones. They were 1st generation and proud of both their heritage and their American accomplishments. Your articles feel like a visit from my past as well. They brighten my day!

Priceless, Ed! I've instructed a few students who wrote like that. I suspect it's somewhat easy to write...just keep pumping out the words! It is exhausting to read but sometimes humorous.
