Though we lament Steve Duin's exit from the Oregonian's sport page lo these many years ago, we admit that he can write pretty well about other things. Case in point is this morning's column, which tells the story of Beverly Warren-Leigh's book Red Letter Days. Pinch had something to do with that project; but full credit and love go out to Ms. Warren-Leigh, whose patience and determination transformed an act of filial devotion into a potent and lasting work of personal history.
To those of you who arrived here from Mr. Duin's blog: welcome. You may find a reckoning (and illustrations) of the Red Letter Days project here; and of course you're welcome to stick around and look at other things as may strike your fancy.
