I really enjoyed the book. Along the way I sometimes wondered when it was written. Who still drives a Datsun? (I did in the 1970's.) Who still makes coffee on the stove? Some hair styles and fashions sounded a bit dated. I thought perhaps this book was written years ago and had finally been polished up and published. Am I wrong?

Otho Eskin Hi Margie. Thanks for reading! My instinct is to use the language, social conventions, and styles of the mid to late 20th century. And that creates problems for a few readers. I was made aware of this a few years back when I was talking with women friends about one of my books. I briefly describe the clothing and hair styles of some of the women attending the reception. My women friends observed, in a gentle way, that the hair styles I described were out of date. Later, my children informed me that no one under forty uses email for social interactions. People use Facebook or Snapchat or Instagram or probably something else. Who knew? But I daresay that many readers like little touches of the old days!
