ok, so this year marked a milestone of some sort since the publishing of to kill a mockingbird......and my college sorority tried to give an award to harper lee, a notable alumnae for writing this brilliant work of fiction...but harper lee does not venture out these days for any reason, even chi omega business..........but she did send a nice note.....which was dutifully rendered in the monthly edition of the alumnae magazine.......i will send a copy of the article to my friend gail...mostly for a tiny bit of insight......hsrper lee wrote from memory....her father was a lawyer....her sister is a lawyer and she studied law until she decided to take time off to finish her book-it took 3 years.......she article does mention that she wrote from memory...and that her next door neighbor growing up was......truman capote......ha.....did you not wonder where she got the wonderful character dill?.........ha......who knew.....it was truman capote.....or at least that is what the chi omega folk want us to think................
