I would argue that you were in fact doing invaluable research, whether or not it appeared in a peer-reviewed medical journal. Lovely piece.

This one was my favorite of the series. I loved reading about Gordon, David and Peter. I could read a book about them, the way you describe them. The affection and respect translates, and I want to learn more about them.

Lovely evocation of a time, place, characters. Sounds like a TV series to me. Have you ever thought...?

Loved this series...I had your experience in reverse around the same time. 1980 and 1984 in American school/college. Learning not teaching

Thanks Ann! Would be interesting to compare notes.

Lovely, evocative, transporting. Laughing at a seersucker suit on Thanksgiving.

How spectacular you got such an opportunity.

Such a fun read. It's like a time capsule with an English twist. Simpler times.
