Thanks, Jennifer, Jeff, Dee and Terese:
I am greatly pleased with the way Robt managed two of my shots of the Susquehanna for the jacket. The background scene is of the river above the Lewisburg bridge. The framed inset shows some of our older houses as seen from the bridge. In the center, the simple house of beige stone dates from c. 1734, while the white one at right is nearly as old and now belongs to the chairman of the Bucknell Univ. English faculty, who is also book reviewer for our local daily paper. The spire at left is that of the First Baptist Church where Robert Lowry, author and composer of "Shall We Gather at the River" was pastor for many years. Inside the book Jeanette Campbell has made a line drawing of about the same scene to illustrate my sonnet: "At the River," which was inspired by Lowry's hymn.
All your kind comments are much appreciated.
