Alla, I just wanted to mention a special thank you to you for your response
and reflections both historically and literary...it was such an interesting
read for me :-)

I've decided to take everyone's comments and some generous LC's letter
drafts and come up with a:

PERFECT (of course), non- confrontational, non-emotionally charged,
grammatically correct,
well proof read, empathetic yet educational response, possibly delivered in
person and with
mom present for discussion....(yes I know this is a run on sentence <g>)

 LOL  - this should be interesting!

Hugs to all for your help and thoughts,
While it's hard to live up to your standards your input is as always
amazing!
Ilene
