Yvonne's Story
Still reading novels and teaching literature and composition to teenagers, I have fulfilled my desire to travel since 1992 by visiting my relatives--a daughter in Hong Kong, son in Japan, sister in Moscow, another sister in Bavaria, a colleague in England.

After teaching in Cucuta, Colombia in 1964, I came back to Michigan to teach and married the boy Maynadene MacKenzie introduced me to at our graduation.

Another grant I got put me in the vault of the Folger Library Reading Room--an English teacher's dream. I first heard about it in Mr. Whitman's senior English class. Now I have been there--and the vault, no less, touching the vellum pages on which Henry VIII wrote his notes.
