Thank you Annette for this lengthy story. I had eagerly been waiting for it to enter my inbox upon reading in Saturday's article about its imminent arrival today.

I have one observation concerning the hypothetical conversation at beginning of post where a reader stated lack of interest in the subject. I respectfully request that no-one complain to Annette about her content choices. As creator and author of NBH, she has exclusive discretion regarding what to write about in her newsletter. If a reader doesn't want to read a particular nBH posts, simply delete it from inbox. Then, wait patiently and excitedly for Annette's next article.

With my statement above having been clearly articulated: in an ideal world, every NBH reader would read everything Annette writes and sends to readers' inboxes. I absolutely do! However, I comprehend that my choice does not necessarily represent the choices of free subscribers or my fellow Nonnies (paid subscribers).

Everything written in this comment is intended as 100% seriousness. I sincerely appreciate your wonderful mission, Annette, of sharing stories about history on a variety of subjects!

What a fabulous piece. Religion based PR (and I’m not religious by any wild stretch of the imagination unless one consider β€œThe Church of Pie” my chosen denomination...the treats at social hours between services are what bring people back week after week, right?) is a classic study for marketing promotions. Looking forward to Part 2, Annette.
