One of your very best chapters!!!

First of all.. you have a good semester Mark....and don't get too bogged down so that you don't have the necessary time to write all this good stuff!! JJ just went up in my estimation...he's not the easy pushover that you might expect. Great ending to the chapter!!

All I can say is that you have been missed Mark Arbour.....a day or week without a chapter is like a day without sunshine. Welcome back. I can't wait to see what mischief you have planned for us to read about!!

And a Merry Christmas to you and all of your readers, too, Mark. This is certainly a very welcome present finding your chapter posted this morning. I agree with much of what has been said already. JP going to Claremont should help to ease the process but Wally and Clara don't seem to be the type of people who would respond to coaxing. I have a feeling they might out Zach to the world and that could be disastrous for Zach's football career. On a silly note, I think they need to soundproof the restroom on the plane!! You always bring a smile to my face and more importantly a great read!! Lee

Mark...as always an interesting read! Do you take the comments and perhaps tweak future chapters based on people's reactions or are you just writing as you see fit? I think someone once commented that you can never be too rich or too thin. However, we need to be conscious of how we make that money so I agree with Will's comments. I guess the rabid Republicans are still in shock, huh.

So where is this pizza place? LOL. That was a very hot ending to the chapter. You do that very well, sir!!

Hi Mark: As usual it's always fun and interesting to read the progress of all the characters. I'm just wondering if you had anybody in mind when you wrote Zach in as becoming overly religious to use as a cover for his homosexuality. I can think of a religious pro football player who was unmarried, and proclaimed to be a virgin. Hmmmm.....do you know something we don't? Lee

Hell hath no fury like a Granger scorned! Well done as always Mark.

Do I detect a link up of story lines??? I've been wondering how this would happen. I thought that perhaps the Schluters or the Cramptons would have mixed some blood with the Grangers in the 19th Century. This definitely could be a CW series!!

Mark: You deserve the thanks for writing such a compelling series. It's always a pleasure to read your stories because they are so well written and so well thought out. Like in life, we lose people so we have to lose characters, as well. I look forward to the next adventure and wonder what will happen when you catch up to the present time. Lee

I have been reading your stories for some time but have never posted a review before. As I live in New York, and went through that awful day I knew that when you got up to 9-11 it would be very emotional and it truly was. I'm not a crier by any means, but the tears did run down my face as Brad was speaking to Robbie during that last phone call. On a personal note, I clearly remember how I couldn't reach my family who lived in Manhattan by phone, but we all called our relatives in St. Louis to communicate that we were all safe. And, in turn, we each knew the others were fine, too....just as you had the characters do. I will miss Robbie and his snaufs. Funny my computer wanted to change that to snafus. I guess there will be some in future chapters. You have provided many good reads!!
