After the meeting last night, Nancy Hermans came up to me & said, "Lilyan, we've been talking about you."

"Who?" I asked, feeling nervous/cautious. Nancy loves me, but still! She is so flat-footed & sometimes surprisingly insightful.

"Rashawn." (Rashawn & Esther Hricziscse had stayed with the Hermans for Mae Henry's memorial.)

"Oh . . . ok." Now I was curious, but didn't know what to say. Just really wished I could've been a fly on the wall for that conversation.

"We were talking about everything you do & Rashawn suggested that we ought to make a special effort & find some door-to-door territory for you to work during the special campaign."

Mom started to state all these conditions that would have to be met for me to go out, but I wasn't listening. I was too excited. Do you realize it's been at least 5 years since I've gone out door-to-door?
