I remember watching you give everything you had to your students those first few years we were back in Mississippi. I wondered if your black colleagues, who were your professors a few years earlier, called you lucky to be back teaching at Jackson State.

In the late 1980s, PBS began airing a British television series based on the Poirot stories. The first Christie novel I wrote a book report on for school was The Seven Dials Mystery, which became one of my favorite non-Poirot novels.
