WRITERS WORKSHOP MEETS The Writers Workshop met for the first time since their seminar on April 30. Although a few members were vacationing, their absence was compensated by four new members. Marguerite Henry, Sharon Tobias and Joe Wenzel, of Walkerton, and Lynn Wamsley, of Culver. There were many readings of the writers' work, some surprisingly well done. Mrs. Henry provoked a lot of nostalgia for the days of threshers and washboards, churns and homemade starch, and pies baked in wood-burning ranges, with her “Mother’s Day”. The three poems by Sharon Tobias reflected her deep religious commitment and were called “Father God’’, “A New Creation’’ and “Letter to a Mother-In-Law”. A reflective comment on day time TV was read by Adelaide Stitils and was called — what else? — "Daytime TV”. Lynn Wamsley departed from her preference, children’s stories, to write a poem for another favorite of hers, “To Dad On Father's Day”. Nadine Keiper latched onto a familiar title for her essay on analogy in the English language — “Animals, Animals, Animals". The assignment for July is a story, poem, essay or whatever about family reunions or family roots. No family skeletons need be
