Popping in to offer a heartfelt THANK YOU to Gratz College (Jenkintown, PA) and all who attended my Lunch & Learn talk on 'The Dilemma of Ordinary People in 1930s Germany' last Monday!

THANK YOU to the DOUGHBOY FOUNDATION for publishing my
article on 'Winterberg' in the January 2026 issue of DISPATCH!

I hope all my followers on this platform will "subscribe" to my new page - Musings on Writing - on Substack, where I post daily quotations about the art & craft of writing - one quote per day from a writer born on that day ... and may occasionally add a thought of my own.

With a FREE subscription, you’ll receive frequent, but not every day, inspirational quotes like the samples below. MONTHLY subscribers receive a daily dose of encouragement; ANNUAL subscribers will also receive a hard-copy, spiral bound 2026 Literary Journal (while supplies last) that has the daily quotes and space to add one’s own musings.

I'd sure appreciate your support as I get this Substack page going. See you there? Use the link below if you’d care to check it out!

Here are a few SAMPLES from earlier this year:
January 1: “The only books that influence us are those for which we are ready, and which have gone a little further down our particular path, than we have yet gone ourselves.” - E.M. Forster
January 2: “Writing, to me, is simply thinking through my fingers.” - Isaac Asimov
January 3: “A story must be told or there’ll be no story, yet it is the untold stories that are most moving.” - J.R.R. Tolkien
