“She's not a boxing fan, so it's likely Marilyn June Janson M.S. Ed., a Multi-Award-Winning writer, text editor and manuscript analyst, would have wanted me to explain the phrase, " pulling his punches. "  I wouldn't have won the dispute, so I rewrote the line. However, I rejected an explanation for, "slam dunk."  

A prominent member of the Arizona Authors Association, Marilyn unveiled a list of professional writing rules I never knew existed. For that alone, I am grateful. Her many red-lined "no-no's" and numerous suggestions helped to clean up a manuscript that required serious polishing.  

Her most valuable suggestion, particularly since this book that had (change from ‘has’) virtually no continuity, was "before each chapter numbers, anchor your readers in the year and locations of your scenes." That solved my major concern, despite adding hours of mental anguish searching through boxes of old photos of yesteryear, and dusting off a 1951 wedding album.”   

Her Overall Opinion: "Charming memoir told with affection, historical significance, and nostalgia. Humor, not easy to write, works well and is genuine."  Thank you, thank you, Marilyn."
