Hello Joyce,
I’m so glad that you enjoyed the slideshow. Ha! I wish we were still that young. Wouldn’t mind doing it all over again! What an adventure it was! Stay in touch my “old friend from Central Square, N.Y.!”
Maybe one day we will get to meet!
Your “old friend,”
Bonnie
was interested to know
1. Why move back
2. Why West Virgina
3. Have you been back for any visits
Thank you
Loved your book, but why no pix of Bill? Was he too shy? I volunteered on Kodiak Is for 6 months and in Sitka for 4 months and fell in love with AK., but I live on Mt. Desert Is. , Maine with Family so could never move there. I am going to look to see if you’ve written more because you have a natural talent for it. I am also a Christian and love what you wrote about your great faith. God is good!
Hello, Mrs. Lenny Sweet!
I’m thrilled to hear that you loved the book! I changed the names of the characters in the book to protect their identity, so of course, I didn’t want to put their photo’s in the book either. I have a sequel due out in January, which tells “the rest of the story!” I hope you enjoy it as well. Thank you so much for taking the time to write me.
Many blessings,
Bonnie Rose Ward
I’ve enjoyed your books. I would like to find the lake on a map. Could you give me information where caribou island and Skilak Lake are located. Thank you.
