This is one of the best literary pieces I’ve ever read. The author is my nephew, and he makes me proud. His writing quill is obviously dipped into his veins, and his soft heart pulsates each letter and word. I’ll never think of the Drummer Boy in the same old way.

  You are very kind to say that. In the vein of Grandma’s false modesty regarding her chicken and noodles, “It’s just something I threw together.” It was so good to visit with you and Kathy recently. Two Hall of Famers in the world of journalism!
