“Fantastic job, quite beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed reading all the poems…I particularly liked Wind-Blown, The Null Hypothesis, Fantasy In Driftwood, Whisper Away, Bosc Pears and Winter Pageant. ME was very intriguing almost an ugly statement for a pretty girl but it is interesting, almost shocking…Whisper Away is touching, light and delicate like a fading memory. (Is it) referring to Alzheimer or senility. They are quite sad. Sometimes however our memories can be painful and more comfortable to forget. All the poems were short- one page or so, readable and comprehensible, different from some poems I’ve read in the past. Nice acknowledgment to ECMP too.”
Michael Finegold, Artistic Director, Essex Chamber Music Players

“I was pleasantly surprised to be awarded the Honorary Member status. Then you topped it off by dedicating the Pen & Brush book to me! I value such recognition deeply. In retrospect, it makes all of my ‘extra’ effort worthwhile. My sincere thanks to you all.”
