The Inkwells: Steve Nickell (upper left), Valerie Power (lower left), Ramona Josephs-Horton (lower right), and in the upper right, clockwise from top left: John Walsh (Ruth’s hubby), Carol Pope, Ruth Roberts, Michelle Fogle, Sarah Beauchemin, and David Hoffer.
Michelle Fogle is retiring and moving away, so the vaccinated Inkwells got together at Ruth’s house for a proper sendoff, complete with champagne and tiramisu, and a guest appearance from founding member Will Barnes.
Michelle’s writing is gorgeous, compelling, and historically researched, and we wouldn’t want to be without it, even in its infant stages during read and critique. However, the bright side of the pandemic is that we’ve all gotten so used to virtual meetings, that we won’t have to really say goodbye. So we look forward to reading more of her work, and receiving her excellent insights into ours!
Another bright side was the re-addition of Ramona Josephs-Horton to the Inkwells group. She’s on the east coast now, but with Zoom, all things are possible.
We wish Michelle the best in her new home.
