Sounds good, Jim.

You must be the premier expert on the works and music of Eleanor Porter. As a musician, did she play an instrument or simply sing? Just curious.

FYI, my Hidden History is recommended by the Shepherd book review this time around. And I think you had me send Hidden History to your friends, whose contractor has broken ground for their new house, right here in Oak Bluffs.

And also, FYI, I sent my last shipment of Dogtown books off to Gloucester. It had a remarkably long run of a quarter century, plus; now I can retire! Best in 2023, Tom

Thanks for commenting, Tom! Eleanor played the piano and sang professionally. On your island, my friends, Mike and Mark, are thrilled at breaking ground. They will be good neighbors, I'm sure. Mark is involved in genealogy -- a great help to me. Dogtown! I guess your book has been on shelves longer than that Dogtown novel. What longevity! Thanks for reading about Eleanor. I think you represent a fifth of my readership. Quality not quantity! Take care! Hugs to Joyce!
