Please excuse the "road improvements!!"  I will be adding a page specifically devoted to my style as a writer of fiction about the Fancy Pennsylvania Dutch or Germans.  I copied the following quote from DanFogelberg.com  "THE ARTIST EMBRACES THE PAST AS A GUIDE TO THE FUTURE"   That's what I did.  I knew in my heart that the culture I learned as a child, the Pennsylvania German or Dutch Culture, is better than the culture I see on today's television sets, theatres, schools, and even churches.  I know I can help if I tell my stories.  Lord knows, the world needs help.  Well, I am working at it.  I've written two parts of a trilogy (The Other Side of the Middle   and  Further From the Middle).  I'm working on the third book (which I will probably call "A New Middle").  The German or Dutch heritage I experienced in Pennsylvania is one of sustainability, organic and natural solutions,  moderation, and simplicity.  It is immediate, spontaneous, and genuine, and it works.   We wouldn't be in this race to the bottom, if my father and mother had been asked for advice.
