This is very well written and it flows very well and it is right. I enjoyed very much listening to it. May you have a wonderful day and you have a wonderful weekend and may God bless you with a very merry Christmas.

    Thank you for the comments. I'm glad you think it will be a good book. Maybe some people from Mississippi will read it.

Again, all these chapters are six-worthy. I also lived on campus and briefly pledged a fraternity, then decided against it. I was a few years younger, so 1957 was my year, with movies like "The Giant Claw" and "The Deadly Mantis" playing downtown. Romance would come afterward.

    Thank you, Jim. I didn't like horror movies. I did see The Fly and The Birds.

    In the fifties, I loved to go to those movies. Nowadays, they're too explicit nd poorly written.

I guess 1956 was a very interesting year for you and for the world at large. When women have a male pen-pal or plutonic friend, most guys think of that as a Plan-B.

notes:

I was quickly accepted by my {classmate.}

    I probably considered it Plan B to but I wouldn't have admitted it.
    Thanks for the review.

At lot happened in 1956. I was born in 1954, so too young to remember any of it, but I have heard and read a lot. Thank you for sharing these memories with us.

We ended the 30 min. sessions holding hands singing a prayerful song. (probably should spell out minute, the period there takes the reader out of this story)

In the Union of South Africa, black people risk their livelihoods, and their lives, in the struggle (period after struggle.)

1956 (you shouldn't begin a paragraph with numbers. Either write out the years or rearrange the sentence so it doesn't begin with the year. You did this quite a few times.)

    I didn't know about the rule of not starting with a number. Not everyone follows it. I just saw it don't that way in text. I'll try to remember that.

    You're the author. I use professional editors before a book goes to be published. It's what they say. I've noticed well known authors don't need to follow editing rules. Their name sells the book. I'm still attempting to get established. I need to follow the rules. Just trying to share what I've learned.
