currently resides in Florida. I believe Maureen was inspired by
the book "The Divine Secrets of The Ya Ya Sisterhood" by Rebecca Wells.
This was our very first book.
The plot was about a group of childhood friends
in the South and their life long bond that helped
them cope with the travails of life.
As my ailing memory serves this was in the year
1999 or thereabouts.
So we started our bond of friendship through tennis
initially but now have expanded it by reading.
Members have come and gone and we even had one
who has died of ovarian cancer. May Mary Pogue rest
in peace.
Our format has been very non structured and
that is what makes us unique.
We say what we feel like and everyone has a right to
their opinion. Membership is now limited as our rolls
are burgeoning. Our current members who attend
regularly and these are in alphabetical order because
that is how we choose our books.
Betsy Baltz, Carol Branson, Marsha Callahan,
Julie Champagne, Diana Crews, Nancy Forbush
Nettie Hughes - Secretary, Madeleine Leraris
Susie Mazur, Doug Reichl - (token male),
Donna Riker, Donna Smith, Kathy Willis,
Sarah Witwer and sometimes Jean Ziegler.
We have met at different members' homes if they
have felt like hosting or we meet at local restaurants.
I feel like I have made lifelong friends with all of you and
I look forward to sharing more ideas and hope that we
continue to respect each other's opinions because that
is exactly what they are.
