Marijane Meaker
Springs
December 4, 2022
Dear David,
I wish to add to the fine obituary of Marijane Meaker in the Nov. 24 Star. I was one of the original members of the Ashawagh Hall Writers Workshop that Marijane organized and led, from September 1983 through May 2014. In addition to her many accomplishments as a writer, she was an excellent teacher, skillfully leading the workshop. We met every Thursday evening for two hours upstairs in Ashawagh Hall through the academic year.

Part of This Place

To the Editor,
Okay, Bess or David or whoever also must be part of this accolade, perhaps it is because we got a small little space in the holiday East magazine that I paged through and read more intensely, but it is more likely that because the issue is such a work of art and so beautifully a statement of what is actually part of this place that I can't place it aside and remain mute.

Should Be Proud
North Haven
June 13, 2022
Dear David:
I’ve told my Stonewall story a number of times to folks who asked about it. During the past 53 years, some people, both straight and gay, have asked what actually happened that late Friday evening in June, 1969. Of course, being a part of it was an unusual experience, and makes for a riveting story.
Today, we are over half a century beyond the now-famous Stonewall Rebellion, and I look at current news events wondering if we have learned anything at all.
