Watermark Books in Wichita presents....







What a terrific way to spend a Sunday afternoon....! I can't think of a better group of people than booklovers ...and a bookloving hairdresser!

Not only did I enjoy hearing author, Kathy Patrick, share her love for books and book groups....I was the winner of a 'make-over' and a Pulpwood Queen 'big hair' do! I know....some people have no pride!

Thanks, Sarah Bagby, and staff at Watermark...the best independent bookstore around....

To add to a wonderfully enjoyable event, I purchased and gave a dear person, Dr. Jacqueline Vietti (our college president) a copy of the book, because she grew up, as did the author, in Eureka, Kansas...of all places. Imagine my astonishment when I told Kathy Patrick who I was giving the book to and to whom she should inscribe it and she exclaimed, "Oh, my! Jackie Basham's father delivered me and her mother was my French teacher! In fact, her mother is in the book!"
Needless to say, I was so anxious to give the book to Dr. Vietti. It meant alot to me to have her rush up to me at our large all-college meeting and hug me...and thank me....for sharing the book with her.
