Deborah, I'm going to be in Norman this weekend. If I left a box of books outside your office would that be ok?

Greetings to everyone else. If you don't know me I'm a master's grad of the PW program. I've taken my first full-time teaching position in the journalism department at Northwestern in Alva, OK. Oh, how I miss Norman. The job is great, but I long for a Mont swirl and a Coach's burger.

I'm still sending off queries for my thesis novel, but I've made some progress there. However, I don't want to talk about it, lest I jinx it.

Good to read about everyone. Good luck!

>Hey, folks, how about collecting books to send to people who surely need some reading diversion from their troubles?  Do we want to just make donations from our own shelves, or do we want to ask everyone in Gaylord Hall (even on campus) to contribute books?  We'll need a drop point in the building, and volunteers to empty it.  The books can be stockpiled in my office until we're ready to ship them to Houston.
