Bryan, hello. Maybe you don’t remember me, but we took classes together at Bread Loaf School of English some year ago, it was about creative writing and literature. We also taught in the same area in New Mexico, I worked in Gallup and youi somewhere deeper on the reservation.
I found your name by chance, it looks as if you were leading an interesting and enriching life.
Well, I hope to hear from you soon,
