I am very proud to announce that my wife, Elise, won third prize in the recent Pike County Arts Council Literary Contest with a story about an adventure she had when she was teaching English in Namibia. Competition was stiff and other winners in various categories included Brian Biggs of Summit, Judy Holmes, and the daughter of our neighbors across the street (I can't remember her name). Tonight the first place winners in each category read their compositions aloud to the audiance at the award ceremony. Elise came away from it with a monetary prize of five dollars (seed money for a budding literary carreer) and the pride of having participated and won.

There are similarities. Elise and Jenn both have strange husbands. ;-)
Jenn (Jenifer) is a neat lady who lives with her family north of Dallas (That's in Texas you know.)
