sent me the neatest book
called The Dorm and Me,
about a retired school
teacher who took a job
as “housemother” at a
girls’ school. Names were
changed but it was CJC
before “coed.” The town
was New London and the
dorm (I think) was Burpee.
I loved the read and sent it
to Shirley Glidden Splaine.
She’ll be happy to send
it on if you contact her
via email (garden775@
meterocast.net) or contact
me at the above address.
