I first met Lee (Ryan) this past weekend in Bellevue. What a delightful lady.

She shared her news of being able to publish this article ("There are many pearls among us" Times/News, Nov. 20) and today, as I read it, it took me back to my own childhood, growing up in Spokane.

I look forward to reading Lee's future articles. Ya know, I agree with Lee. We do have a lot of negativity coming our way each and every day.

Her article is a breath of fresh air and I eagerly look forward to her next writing.
