Sounds like you all had a real good time at the Palette, but I was waiting to see if there was the next future Salvador Dali showing a melting Clocktower painting.

Also, Happy Thanksgiving to everybody! May your turkeys be plump and your libations plentiful.

Ken , most definitely there were some abstract Clocktowers in the group. As well, the paintings look great the farther you are from them!

Hey Bicentennials... check out the Lane Tech Alumni Association social media channels today when our very own supermodels, Janet and Peter Ingraffia, are featured in the Giving Tuesday campaign for the LTAA. So fancy!

Hello and Happy Holidays all,

There are several "Little Library" book swap stands scattered around the downtown Kenosha area. These are "Birdhouse" sized cabinets where people can donate books and/or take books to read. I have seen these in other areas also, for example, I came across one in Westfield, Indiana, several years ago (got a book on my "need to read list" from that one). Because I am an avid reader, I drop by a couple of the downtown Kenosha ones from time to time when I am wandering around that area to drop off or take a book or two. Last Wednesday evening as I was walking to one of our downtown shops, I stopped by one to check out what books were in there and if there was one or two I wanted to take to read.

Lo and behold, I discover a novel written by one of our very own, a fellow Lane 76'er. I did not know about her being an author until our 40th reunion and through our 1976 message forum. The book was a Christmas love story novel, so I took it to read as it will fit well with having something to read during my Christmas break. So thank you Terri for writing that story, as this is the first time I have "come across" a classmate via the "Little Library" stand. I would say that this is one of the more unique ways that our class of 76 can be anywhere, anytime, and in any way possible.

What is the name of the book and full name of the author?

That would be Terri Reid, otherwise know as sweet Terri Bresnahan, proud graduate of Haugan Elementary! Check out her fancy Amazon page! We found you out Terri!!!

I blame Ken.

Hi Ken!

I'm so glad you found one of my books - I hope you like it. I've written about 45 books and stories combined - most of them are mysteries - so I'm not sure which one you found. :) But I'm thrilled you found it.

Please let me know what you think - I'm at author@terrireid.com

Hi June!

I write under "Terri Reid" and you can find all of my books through my author page at Amazon.

Have a wonderful holiday everyone!!!!

Well.......I tried to keep this on the "down-low", but if you all want to know what the book was.....

Here it is......

Hopefully the picture reflects the title of the book.......

Thank you June- I owe it all to my great English teachers at Lane Tech. :)

Sigh, well, Ken, I wondered if that was the case... I've been confused with that author a number of times - she's Terri Reed and I'm Terri Reid - and she writes lovely Christian love stories and I write paranormal mysteries and urban fantasy (and a couple of love stories thrown in.) :) She and I have chatted a couple times - usually because her publicist accidentally posts something on my Facebook page.

When you said a Christmas love story - I wondered. My "Christmas" book involved an infant getting kidnapped from a WalMart on Black Friday, his ghost older brother hiring my main character to find him and a discovery of a drug ring operating through the Chicago Police Department. Oh, there's also a really interesting scene at the Congress Hotel - which is the most haunted hotel in Chicago that involved my heroine (who can see and communicate with ghosts) waking up in her bedroom at the hotel and discovering she's sharing it with a couple of ghosts having a tryst. :) Not your typical love story!!! :)

Terri, that actually sounds more like something Ken would enjoy...

Ken, you look like you belong in a Hallmark Christmas movie.

12/15/18 10:30 PM

I wonder if Ken always dresses like that or perhaps if he was hoping Terri would see him and cast him in the Hallmark movie they make from her book...except that it wasn’t her book.

Ken, if I wrote a book and they made a movie from it, I would certainly cast you in it...just sayin’.

Merry Christmas to you all! Ho ho ho

I would TOTALLY cast Ken in my Hallmark movie! He's already got the pose down pat!!!

#807

Wow!

What an idiot I am! <-----said several times in my post #298

I had no idea that there were 2 authors with essentially the same name, so I am sorry Terri Reid for mistaking you for Terri Reed (does that make sense, or did I mess that up too?)

I did wonder why I did not find that book on your website, but Michelle is right, I woud definitely enjoy your books more, so I will keep on the lookout for them.

I guess I will have to "strike a new pose" (reminds me of the song "Vogue" by Madonna) when I get one of your books
