Steve I knew it was gem back when I spotted it when I visited the URI library with Dr.Bill Briden years ago. During the Covid- 19 years I might have told you that we are in for a pandemic of nostalgia,Steve. Thanks for the feedback,Steve.

Ron— this was a brilliant find! Hard to believe that this country was once “purring with contentment”. That’s all “Gone With the Wind!” now, as you say.
Strange that I read this absolute jewel of yours after watching the first two episodes of The Twilight Zone on YouTube, which still chilled me with its black and white naiveté— almost as much as “Nobody is Mad at Nobody”.
I wouldn’t be surprised if you’ve inspired some major newspaper to reprint this gem from a bygone time!
While doing the dishes tonight, I must have subconsciously wanted to punish myself even more by listening to a documentary on Kierkegaard! So my mind is fried at this point and I can only imagine what dreams may come tonight! LOL.
