The Pulpwood Queen Has a Lot to Say, (as usual)!

Dear Readers,

The photo today is of one of our NEWest Pulpwood Queen literary leaders, Marsha Toy Engstrom who is know far and wide as The Book Club Cheerleader!

Here is the CORRECT photo of Carol Fitzgerald and Marsha Toy Engstrom on your far left.
As per this note on previously posted photo:

Kat:

Thanks for posting the pic with me and Carolyn. Unfortunately in my haste to send you my latest news, I failed to identify everyone properly. My partner-in-Book-Club-crime is actually the one on the far left, Kay Hodges; and i'm on the right of Carolyn. I had a separate picture of me with Carol Fitzgerald, which I'm attaching to this email. But doesn't Carolyn Turgeon look adorable--we just LOVED her!

Thanks, again, Kat--and have fun in Shreveport!
