DON – FORMER VIETNAM VETERAN – Part Three
Continuing a 7-part special by Richard F. Kontz on a Vietnam Vet he met while running the Bread of Life Christian Bookstore in 2015 through mid-2011.Don and I went into a restaurant called My Sister’s place and sat down at a table. So as the server came and gave us a menu and took our drink order we sat there looking at the menus, and Don said “boy, Rich, it’s been a long time since I have had a meal in a sit-down restaurant – I don’t even know what to order – too many choices”.

‘We Read, We Talk’ book club meets with Anne Hillerman
Area authors also join in at library’s special eventWhat do you see when you read? When James Joyce invites us to Dublin, when Charles Dickens sets us down in London, we come to know those cities specifically through their filters. We construct images in our minds when we are reading, because when we read we are immersed and the more we are immersed the less we are able in the moment to bring our analytical mind to bear upon an experience in which we are absorbed.”
