Not only did I learn a lot, but I found a friend later in life I didn't know I had, and have spent many hours "catching up" with her when I visited Grandma (we live in Washington state), on the phone, and on the internet.<br />I must admit, as much as I "loved" Sara then (she was twenty something and I was, well, in the eighth grade!), my admiration for her and what she does has certainly grown by leaps and bounds. <br />Sara has a lot to teach us, both in her poetry and in the way she lives her life that inspires others to go out and "do", not just sit on the porch.<br />She's a great lady.<br />Thanks, ma'am!!<br />"Robin" B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8067112966724673321.post-22426170656858696782009-09-21T13:39:22.377-07:002009-09-21T13:39:22.377-07:00Jessie's right!
