I apologize for the rocky start, but so glad to see a good many of you when we got going. An interesting range of topics this time...<div><br></div><div>Two books in particular were mentioned as worth a look: “On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous” by Ocean Vuong, and “Inheritance: a Memoir of Genealogy, Paternity and Love” by Dani Shapiro.</div><div><br></div><div>We also liked Jane’s suggestion of a survey monkey which asked us to answer some questions...anonymously, I think. Jane’s example was whether some classmates did the tough crosswords. She suggested that we submit questions thru the email address, and then she would set up the survey.</div><div><br></div><div>I am thinking of setting up the next Zoom call around the end of November. In the meantime, I hope everyone stays safe and well. If you are traveling, please be extra careful. <br>Thanks.
