As a veteran language arts teacher for students with mild learning handicapps, I am sincerely interested in the art of written expression in its most persuasive and provocative application. And as a child of the 50s-60s, I have deeply-rooted questions about how this government has repeatedly failed to serve the best interests of its constituency. I reside in the NW Atlanta area with my husband (Cambodia service), grown children and a furry stress-reliever.
