"Well, I'll borrow that if I may" [VALL]
From our good friend John Baesch comes this interesting feature story from Sunday's Washington Post called Return to Lender.The book of Sherlock Holmes stories just showed up one day at a Silver Spring high school library, 42 years overdue. Would it be a case befitting the detective itself?John makes a good point in his email when he notes that the perpetrator not only is worthy of a prayer or two, but he leaves us wanting more. Why was it that he only discovered the book 42 years later? Did he read the stories in the interim?
A little slice of life that gets at the inner Sherlockian in all of us - even if we are one for a moment in our brief time on this planet.--

Perhaps, much as Jabez Wilson might have been slow-written, the borrower may be slow-readin'.
A week or two at The Gables, the well-know coaching establishment, could be recommended.
"Harold Stackhurst"
A witty remark Mr. Stackhurst, yet completely speculative and most importantly totally off the mark.
A man like Steve Sampogna who cares enough about returning a tome to it's rightful place -in the same gentle, witty and graceful way he is processing his own personal "return to sender", deserves a more thought out and respectful response than you have attempted. Perhaps you should re-read the story. Seems you have missed your mark.
Respectfully,
Annie Sampogna-Reid
