REFLECTIONS. NO. 2THE PERRY MASON NOVELS[[wysiwyg_imageupload:79:]]"No one's heard of Perry Mason, at least among the young people," said my friend definitively. Even though I wanted to disagree with her, I feared that she was right.

SISTER MARY SHERIFF RIDES AGAINBy TOM SOTER[[wysiwyg_imageupload:61:]]She was insistent on the point. “I was talking with someone at a party last night and she told me that there is no such thing as an Episcopalian nun,” my friend said in her forceful, know-it-all manner. “You must have been mistaken.

A Dog's Life
CHARLIE'S GIFT By TOM SOTER [[wysiwyg_imageupload:681:]] Charlie was the family dog. But he was widely considered my dog. He joined our family in the spring of 1972,when I was still living at home. And long after I had moved out, I still came by and took him for walks in the park. He always was ecstatic to see me, jumping up and down, his tongue hanging out of his mouth, his eyes glowing with happiness.
