I have received a number of written stories, long and short. I’ve been thinking about how to present these. I’m going to try a brief description on what I have received and provide a link to a download so you can read them at your leisure off-line. All of the files are in .rtf text format so you should be able to read or print the file with just about anything. Also, I’ve been told a number of stories and have received snippets of stories from many. With your patience and time, I will attempt to post them here. Thanks for the great response, still posting!
