Tom Chaney: June 12, 2007: The Coming of Rain


Book Review: The Coming of Rain. by Richard Marius
By Tom Chaney

Twenty some years ago when my niece Elizabeth Matera was casting about for a college, she flew to Philadelphia. From there we boarded the cars to New York and Boston. Near the latter city was a college of some repute -- Harvard. That school met all of her requirements, chiefly that it be above the snow line.

We happened to arrive just after letters of acceptance had been mailed. The admissions office hustled us off to join a tour whilst they arranged a lunch for us. At the lunch Elizabeth met with a delightful admissions counselor, also a faculty member, Richard Marius.
