My Turn: A girl of summer leaves us By Bill Newman
Last Saturday was glorious sunny, with dogwoods and cherry trees in blossom. Our small group, gathered together at a graveside to say goodbye to Barbara “Bobbie” Newman Kravitz, who had passed at 89, was grateful for the warmth.
Bobbie’s younger son, Neal, shared this story: As his father was approaching his death 16 years ago, he asked Neal to call his mother every day. And for 16 years, with only the rarest of exceptions, Neal did that. “It was,” he said, “just talking, . . . two people totally comfortable in the knowledge that they could say whatever was on their minds, without fear of judgment or anything else.”

Pointing Us in the Right Direction: Good Books About Great Books
Whenever I write for The Epoch Times or other outlets about books, which is frequently, a reader or two will email me asking if I might send them a list of authors and titles worth their while. Most of them are looking for suggestions for their children and grandchildren, seeking to supplement their education with quality literature and histories. A few are autodidacts who, feeling that they are missing some fundamental part of their education, seek books to fill those gaps.
Though my responses are, I am certain, sometimes inadequate, these inquisitive folks have in one sense come to the right guy. “Books about books” constitute one of my favorite genres for reading.
