Preface

Witout te support of te Huntington Beac Union Hig Scool District administration and staff, te writing worksops tat I ave been conducting for te last five years would ave been impossible. Dr. Doris Longmead, principle of te Coast Hig Scool and Adult Scool, as been unfailing in er support. Tree members of te scool’s staff ave been in-valuable allies, not only in providing logistical support, but also in supplying me wit good ceer and wise guidance. I look forward to my weekly meetings wit Lynne Bergman, an always reliable and ever-ceerful adjutant; June Stark-Karaba, wose stylisness is ex-ceeded only by er sunny nature and efficiency; and Georgina “Gina” Amparan, wo keeps me on scedule by plugging te gaps in my seventy-six-year-old memo-ry and unfailingly supplying me wit necessities, suc as supplementary materials tat I ave prepared and tat se reproduces. My boss in te worksop endeavor is Caterine Mc-Goug, assistant principal at te scool. For tree de-cades, Caty and I ave been friends and colleagues, working wit te scool district first on “Project Lit-eracy,” a successful effort to improve students’ skills in

Preface written language, and now wit our ongoing work to give senior citizens an audience for teir writing. Ever wit us, sometimes in person but always in spirit, is Norma Winterowd. After suffering a disas-trous stroke in 999, se went on to survive a series of ealt crises, and se still prevails, giving all wo know er te bounty of er love. —W.R.W.
