First of all, I extend my sympathy to Glenda Beall and her family upon the loss of her beloved husband, Barry. We all loved Barry and appreciate very much all the work he did for North Carolina Writers Network-West. Barry took photos of our writers' events and was always faithful. We will all miss him very much. Glenda and her family are in our thoughts and prayers.Barry always supported the writers of this region. I think he would be glad to heard I was nominated as 2009 "Best of the Net" for my poem, "Crepe Roses," that was published on THE DEAD MULE SCHOOL OF SOUTHERN LITERATURE website (April, 2009).
