Ordinary Days: Anna #11

There was

   a long war.

  (Second Samuel 3:1)


Dear Anna,

Thank you for sending your class syllabi my way. We just returned from a Montana road trip with Lori and Jerry Sjodahl. At Flathead Lake, the trip turned magical—play-by-play can wait until we talk “face to face,” as the Bible likes to say. When I spoke with you from Seeley Lake, MT; your roommate had COVID. How is that going? I trust this finds you well.

I enjoyed reading your syllabi. “As the Roman’s Say” looks great. That and the syllabus on “International Politics,” follow the same format I liked to use. I printed out “Native American History.” It had the least pages and Grammy wanted to read it. Don, Grammy’s step father, was part Sioux Indian and the nephew of Chief Crazy Horse. Maybe that is why Don was such a great warrior, parachuting behind enemy lines on D-Day with the 101 Airborne. That’s why Grammy is always on the side of Native Americans.

Love, Papa
