Childhood photographs are so revealing of hidden facets of our personality before we smoothed it over as teenagers, don’t you agree? That photograph of you as a girl hints at an unsuspected facet of Frances, the désinvolture of a tomboy.

We subscribe to G&G and we were so excited to see your story in the latest issue. What a beautiful and important part of our country and history!

It’s a haunting and beautiful place—that black tannic water acts as deep mirrors for the swaying moss… amazing!

What a lovely piece of travel writing! Seems silly to say, considering the writer, but I hope you know what I mean. You transported me to a place I knew nothing about and told me its fascinating story. I loved reading the G&G piece, too.
