had been prepared to show me their latest projects Dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for dinner lunch In case you don t know poke greens are a

only steak house in the area to celebrate her victory as if she had received her Ph D degree After the meal she placed a little box containing an old pen in my hand She said it was a family heirloom
