I just wandered in on this great piece and discussion. I have written to the author, personally, years upon years ago and she gave a bratty no it all 16 year old great advice and took me under her wing until I got through college. She is a great lady. The piece is hers, dude. I’ve had the privilege to read much more of her work! She is an inspiration that needs to be published. She had a few houses after her to publish some of works, but she got really ill for a while. I know she will publish eventually. Why you can’t find info. on her is beyond me. Type her name in google and there is hundreds of thousands of people she has given permission (those who asked) to use her work with her contact info. I think I am her greatest fan-ha! Beside her family! Take O. Washington off, please, you won’t find him anywhere, and if you do, he most certainly can be sued.

Great post, though! GMTA! Keep up with the thought provoking ideas-we all need to think more,huh? I like your past posts!

Sorry I can’t help you figure out who wrote this one. Best of luck!

Makes one think, ey? She is brilliant in her writings and I need to read and re-read it a bit more often.
