The DNC has been remarkable. Vote early...! And, often...! (kidding...)

Congrats Annette! A publishing question: will the published versions have all those great family photos in them?

Thank you, Sharon, for your great question. I won’t be able to include all of them, but I have added a half dozen of the most important ones. I’m so glad you appreciated them. They mean a lot to me.

Funny, but the one that hit me the hardest was the iron lung. It helped me understand what a relative went through as a young child. He never did breathe normally and died in his fifties. Thanks especially for that story of your older sister.

It’s a story that’s precious to me. I went to visit an iron lung at the University of Virginia’s medical library. It was very emotional to me. I’m glad it helped understand your relative’s experience.

Thanks! I hoped it would convey all that’s in my brain!
