We were in a crowded upstair room and I shared the spotlight that evening with a fellow Delaware Poet, Stephen P. Koelsch. He read first and I finished them off, so to speak.

I decided to record a rereading of my program that night and preserve it for mankind, assuming man is kind and will accept it.
