It has become traditional |

that I attempt a story each
year, as our National day of
sorrow rolls around for yet.
another year. We call
Remembrance Day.

It is

longer with us and not likely —

unwarranted,
because they were compas-
sionate men and would have

understood my difficulty.

One writer in particular is
still on the best-seller list. He
could capture the sorrow, the
futility and-the tragedy in a

sand years ago.
