I was even more surprised when I asked you what your middle name was. You replied, "Thomas." I pause here, and say, "my middle name is Thomas too." I was afraid to ask you when your birthday was!Jerry Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12749823995193026579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105362130482278496.post-70560702715920030692019-01-05T15:30:17.547-05:002019-01-05T15:30:17.547-05:00My name is Jerry Morris, not the same gentleman wh...My name is Jerry Morris, not the same gentleman who has this site. As a teacher for 34 years, I was guided by the advice of my heroes of the written word, William Strunk JR and E B White. I wrote a book entitled Seven Sentence Building Activities to Develop Advanced Writers based on the exhortations of my heroes. Poking around the internet on a rainy day here near Boston, I am heartened to find another Jerry Morris who has the same affection as I for my heroes. Jerry, my oldest copy is held together with tape and an elastic. I carry it in my bag as I go around the country training teachers on writing. Flying home, I often pop open a Heineken and read the words of my heroes. I feel the cool beer going down my throat and the words warming my heart, my soul, and my mind.
