Paper description

Fiction/Essay: The author continued her fun and thought-provoking dialogue style story, this time of the 60th reunion of five women who now live in different parts of the country and whose lives have taken them different directions. We learn from their dialogue that their bond of friendship remains strong. The Conversation continued covering subjects of: tenting in Alaska, downsizing moves that comes with age; description of a Frank Lloyd Wright house and its owners; the 7-generation span: from great grandparents to great grandchildren; dangers of the internet, memories of childhood and adult opinions during President Roosevelt's New Deal; Joseph Ellis and dissonance in American politics; the direct vote versus our republic; a toast to fat returning to the realm of healthy food and Leptin levels; Neanderthal and Homo sapiens shared genes; new discoveries of animal abilities.
