September 2006
Dear Readers,
A couple of exciting
things are happening in September.
Beginning September
12th I'll be teaching a four-week online class, The Art of Writing
Jokes. (Yes, I really do a little standup comedy on the side.) This basic joke
writing class is offered through the Orange County Chapter of Romance Writers of
America. You can enroll at
www.occrwa.com I expect to have a lot
of fun with the class and my students will be able to wow their friends and
family members with jokes that actually make them laugh.
Not to be outdone by
his wife (that's me), my husband Charles Lobb is now the proud author of
Torrance Airport, a definitive history of our local airport. With more than
two hundred never-before-published photographs, Chuck takes the reader back to
the days of World War II (and before) when P-38 fighter pilots trained at the
small air field south of Los Angeles.
To research this
book, Chuck spent many hours searching military archives, attended P-38 squadron
reunions (with me in tow) and visited the air base in England (also with me in
tow) where many of the crews were assigned after their stateside training.
If you are in the
area, Chuck will be signing his book at the Torrance Airport General Aviation
Facility, 3301 Airport Dr., Sunday, September 10th, 1:00 - 4:00 p.m.
Torrance Airport
by Charles Lobb is available in bookstores now (probably by special order in
most areas) or can be ordered from
www.Amazon.com. The book makes a
perfect gift for both aviation and World War II buffs.
If I still had
children at home, September would bring a third exciting event - the kids going
back to school. So I'll wish all you moms a few quiet hours each day. Enjoy
them. Christmas vacation will arrive all too soon.
Happy reading.
