Re: A Child Is Born
Thank you so much for your positive comments! Yes, the "I" in this story is me, or was in 1981, when I wrote much of it down before the memories had a chance to crystallize into something else.

Hi there mtmynd (Cecil) - and mnaz (Mark?) - it's me, Sasha (Roy) from Big Blue! I wanted to say hi, and also rant in outrage [CAPSLOCK="on"] that you would attribute our state motto "Live Free or Die" to our neighbor to the west, Vermont. It is in fact the New Hampshire state motto. [/CAPSLOCK] :lo...
