Congratulations Cynthia

I just found out that fellow Pitt Writers' Workshop student Cynthia Kadohata won the Newberry Award. I'm not surprised, she's a terrific writer.

What I remember most about Cynthia is that along with pen and pad, she always wrote with a box of Kleenex nearby, just like the Kathleen Turner character in the first scene of Romancing the Stone. Her writing showed that she was that intense. Now I'm going to go out and buy the book. I'll have to remember to keep a hanky handy.
