  1. I have some catching up to do Sarah and I am always happy to learn something new. I'll have to check that accident (will be at the museum this weekend too!).
    Noticed a mention of a pharmacist named Sarah in Julie Klassen's author's notes, then again in Ann Shorey's as a helper in meeting a date line...
    Blessings,

  2. How funny! I don't remember helping Julie (another Sarah????) - but I do have the joy of being Ann's critique partner. I'm re-reading the book now, and it's fun to see how the story grew and developed in editing.

  3. When I saw Julie's mention of a pharmacist Sarah who taught her about pharmaceutical weights/scales (?) I automatically thought of you.
