Welcome to the Spring 2018 Issue of New England Memories, which is dedicated to the memory of Nori Odoi. Nori was a gifted writer, poet, and contributor to past issues of this magazine. I will miss her creative spirit and friendship.
The writing and photography in this issue take us from the spring thaw at rivers and lakes to a first taste of the ripening summer. Many thanks to the generous contributors who share their work here: Parker Towle, Rodger Martin, Yvona Fast, Gina Di Cicco Marino, Theresa Hickey, Carl Mabbs-Zeno, and Sherry Jennings. And thank you also to Bob Meagher for his proofreading skills.
We hope you enjoy this issue! We would love to hear from you on this post’s page in the comments section.
Wishing you the best of memories,
Linda Thomas, Editor
Pine Siskin Press
