I will certainly give it a chance (I've read only a little of Jessamyn West, and it showed her talent, though West's one attempt at sf I'm aware of was Not Good).Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-30912662268926584942011-08-09T21:20:19.953-04:002011-08-09T21:20:19.953-04:00Richard-so nice to hear from you and hope you are ...Richard-so nice to hear from you and hope you are enjoying your respite from blogland.<br />It was just such a story.

I watched Gary Cooper, the quiet western hero, play a gentle Quaker with such grace and dignity as I had never seen in him. Years later I met Dorothy McGuire in her home and my joy was complete. It is a story of tenderness and principle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-73994915324677172932011-08-09T12:57:03.436-04:002011-08-09T12:57:03.436-04:00It was on Turner Classic Movies not too long ago. ...It was on Turner Classic Movies not too long ago.
