I cannot believe that you told six sessions of stories and never repeated a single one! Mrs. Turner and I who were able to hear them all were truly blessed.

Mary Grace's pace, her expressions, her gestures, her voice, her choice of story were all perfect...spiritual...graceful, you might say.

I wish you could hear the comments which keep buzzing around here:
"Mary Grace is a born storyteller."
"I keep thinking about Miss Annie and how Mary Grace became Miss Annie before our eyes...."
Thank you again for opening our conference with such a provocative program."
