DEAR TECUMSEH DISTRICT LIBRARY PATRON 92110275


On 11/28/2009 you checked out Papa Bear's Islands In the Stream. Good choice. I checked it out a year and a half later. I'm curious though, why your library slip was sticking out as a book mark from page 168. Is that where you stopped? Before the accident? Before Paris or Cuba? Before the Sea? Why? I know The Sun Also Rises, For Whom the Bells Tolls, Old Man and the Sea, they get all the credit, but this is his masterpiece. The forgotten testament of a man who knew he was destined for suicide. It's all in these pages. I'm not gonna give away any details because I'm hoping somehow, by fate or by chance, you see this and return to the islands and give it a proper go through. I have faith.
