"I want you to know how much I appreciate the past five weeks of writing and talking about memoir under Merridawn Duckler's skilled leadership. She created a comfortable and challenging atmosphere for new and developing writers to thrive. Even though we plan to continue meeting as a group, we will miss her ability to quietly make the comments we need to hear. I hope I have an opportunity to take another class from Merridawn. Thank you for offering this class and opening the door a bit wider to the world of writing."
