SURPRISED AT THE COUNT!

       This past Thursday, 10/12/2017, I gave a talk at the Kiwanis noon luncheon. It was my usual pitch to encourage my audience to write personal and family related  short stories. At the start I asked the gathering of twenty members to raise their hand if they had written any type of story. 

       I was somewhat surprised. Four members raised their hands and I hope at the next meeting to ask at least a couple of them what type of stories or accounts they have put together. I am glad I am not a betting man. I would have guessed, with the majority being men by 19 to one, that maybe only one or two would have responded. Maybe, there is hope!
