I tore open the envelove and sure enough it was a letter from one of my old classmates Dale Cochran. I read: Dear Martha, I am in desperate need of your advise——.

He thought perhaps I might be able to he Ip as I had some experience in writing. My writing was a little different from what he wanted to do but I might think of something to help.

Maybe we could revive some of the good times we used to havo. A few days later found me at Dale's home in Richmond, Virginia. I found that he had done quite well for himself and was famous for his political and newspaper work. Now he wanted to try something differont. We decided to start out immediately in search of original ideas for the book.
