About me Hello there, I love to read. I almost majored in poetry in college. One of my happiest years was teaching English and theater at a high school in Maine.

About my library I used to collect first editions. At one time, I owned original signed manuscripts of J.D. Salinger. I wish I still had them. I also collected John Updike. Karen Salmansohn used to be my next door neighbor. She is as witty and fascinating in person as in her funny books! I spent a delightful evening with Po Bronson once right after the publication of "the first $20 million is the hardest" Still one of my all time favorite titles. One year, I missed the book fair out here, only to find myself at the author's table at the book store, chatting about writing and fiction with William Kennedy and Frank McCourt. Once I attended the Pen writers awards featuring J. Updike and W. Allen. That night, I sat in front of John Irving. I turned to him and said, " What a pleasure to be sitting in front of you tonite" He said, " I don't know how to take that!"
Another great thrill was meeting Kurt Vonnegut.
