Ms. beccakkathleen — does the BSU English Dept. still send these e-mails?
I cannot recall receiving any in recent months.
Personally currently reading a “new?’ novel titled _Do Not Say We Have
Nothing_ which seems to represent rather well some of the awful history
of what has happened to Chinese citizens over the last 68 years.
However, I am curious as to whether the BSU English department
has any statistics of books sold by individual authors with an English
major and a BSU diploma.
This correspondent graduated from the old building of Muncie Central
High School in 1952 and studied at DePauw Univ., SMU, and a number
of other schools for a variety of degrees and certificates.
At one time Fran Rippy was a member of your department and wrote
some of the best holiday greeting letters that I ever saw.
