End of the Year

Well, my mother dying really made it difficult to deal with all of the stresses of a Ph.D. program. I felt like life was a blur for some time there. It's most difficult when I want to call her on the phone and can't. Now there are the additional demands on my time from taking care of estate matters. I was struggling before to help with her care. So, now I am trying to finish up all of those final projects. All of them, of course due the last week of classes. My students don't know how much they should appreciate the structure of my class, which does not have all of their work coming due in the final week. Of course, it's partly for my sanity as well. How on earth could I handle grading their papers when I need to write my own?

Dear Ms. Lind,

I am editing a book on the author Nancy Hale for Pleiades Press, and I found a bibliography written by one Norah Lind on the author. So I have two questions for you: (1) are you the same Nancy Lind that wrote the bibliography? AND (2) if so, would you have an interested in contributing an essay on Nancy Hale to be included in a book on her fiction?

Thank you, and apologize if this is a case of mistaken identity.

Best wishes,
