Caroline Ashton and Jim  Reid are two of the students in my writing class, Caroline, a teacher, talks with her hands, and says a lot of thoughtful things. Jim, a retired Bishop, has a dry with and great sense of humor. I’ve decided to do a series of portraits of my class, which usually meets Saturday morning and is churning out some wonderful stories. Do not speak poorly of your work, I urge them every week. It might be listening.
