To take us lands away

Readers I Encountered Today

A very interesting Korean War Veteran wearing the navy blue beaked cap with the scrambled eggs on it  reading a history of  General Philip Sheridan and his place at the surrender at Appomattox.
A woman caring for her husband carrying a well thumbed copy of a book written by Margaret Truman about the White House. She called it her appointment book. She carried it to all her appointments. She had been reading it for months.
