MY MOTHER, THE LATE BLOOMER

      The collection of my mother's newspaper columns, "Post Scripts: A Writing Life After 80," by LaVerne Hammond, is one of the selections offered in the Hillsborough Library's Book Club in a Bag program  http://www.thpl.org/hcplc/books/bookclub/index.html.  Hopefully, the collection of essays, which my mother wrote from age 86-92, will encourage readers to write down their own stories.
