So this is Annie again. As I said in the last book, Diane thought it best she delegate the writing of Prologues and Epilogues to me. I am Annie, granddaughter to Janet and John. Remember, Diane is writing these books after the year 2000, over 30 years after the events she is describing. I'm assisting Diane at her request. Up to now, she has been ok handling descriptions of herself back when she was a beautiful model. And she has been ok writing about her secret crush on Steve. However, when she got to writing about the letter from Steve at the end of the last book, she turned to me and said, and "I can write the story, but I can't step aside and comment on it. and " I watched her try. And I agree. She answers my questions about it with great emotion. So we begin 1967 with Janet now the Office Manager and John the Supervisor of Engineering. Janet's dream of eventually taking over management of the mill with John seems to be on track. Now they have to show they have the talent and drive to do it. John has become an official suitor. Ward has set them on the fast track to college degrees. Steve is due to return soon freeing Janet of her complications. George and Molly are more at ease now that Janet and John are so busy there is less energy for inappropriate advances in their romance. And Diane has resumed her modeling career in Miami. - Annie
