I first read “Three Letters From Teddy” in 1987.  The superintendent of the school district where I was employed felt all teachers and staff should read the story.  I agreed with him then, and I still do.

The story was written by Elizabeth Silance Ballard.  About a month ago I had the privilege and pleasure of corresponding with her.  I learned of her other stories and books.  I went to Amazon and started downloading to my kindle.  I first read “Three Letters from Teddy and Other Stories.”  It brought back memories of students I had worked with.  I was also touched by stories of ordinary people and their experiences.  I next read “Welcome Home Teddy Staddard,”  followed by “Three Rivers to Cross.”  Both carried on the story of a grown, successful Teddy and Miss Thompson’s life as well as adding the story of a girl in Teddy’s fifth-grade class and her perseverance.  Next, I read “The Fourth Wife of Mr. A. Markham Gillespie.”  It was an interesting read.  I am now ready to begin “Whoppin’ and Hollerin” in Onslow County.”  It is a cold, rainy afternoon, and I begin reading shortly.

I recommend all of her books to you.  Go to Amazon, books by Elizabeth Silance Ballard.  Read them and enjoy!
