A mutual friend (Judy) asked about you recently, and I was embarrassed to say that It’s been years since we communicated. I found you on FB and hope you get this message. I sold my magazines and office building, then finished UNI’s Creative Writing MA program. Bill finally retired and is writing chorales for bands. ~Mary mshepherd@cfu.net Did you get this?

Jo Ann Bender My dear long lost friend,

I'm in Arizona as a winter visitor and am delighted to hear from you. Must have been a fab experience to finish the UNI Creative Writing MA program.

What are you working on now? Or, thinking about writing?

I've finished two books in a contemporary Western series that are now audio books, just like Lebensborn, the WWII novel. Been doing free lance features and was asked to do a construction business newsletter.

Also, thinking about teaching a course in "Writing Your Life Story." Perhaps at the ranch.

Here's my e-mail: budinger.bender@plix.com if you'd like to use this for further correspondance -- which I'd love. You also sent me your contact.

When I think of you, I remember all the fun and mischief we could conjure up together! Also, remember the turkey you forgot in the over?

Warmest thoughts from Jo Ann
