The Hamlet and the White Owl: - Black & White Illustrations (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781533287144)

During ninety years much can happen. In my case, classical piano training from ages six to twenty, a fifty-five year marriage, seven children and teams of critters: the crow, the rooster (an unfortunate choice), the monkey (worse), beloved dogs and cats, Charlie and Cricket the guinea pigs, Daphne the raccoon, three mice, the squirrel ... I'll be reminded if I've forgotten any. And all along, adventures in writing. In college during WWII we girls wrote countless letters to our servicemen in Europe and the South Pacific. Then, writer for Fenn College, Cleveland, and light verse in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. A forty-year membership in Farmington Musicale, Farmington, Michigan -- programs, skits, four years Publicity, six years Editor of the Metronome and the club's successful application for the Distinguished Service for the Arts Award. As lyricist, I enjoyed a twenty-two year collaboration with my composer friend, Charlene Slabey. We wrote art songs, song cycles, a chancel opera, two full-length musicals, all performed in the Greater Detroit Area. Now, "The Hamlet and the White Owl." It seems things are still happening.
