| CHARLENE'S OPEN READING AT BEYOND BAROQUE ON 3-18-2007 |






| What a successful reading! Congratulations again, Charlene. You did an excellent job and made a lot of people wonder who that little poet is. Even Viggo Mortensen gave you a pat on the back! |
| Later, I met Henry Mortensen who was one of the featured readers that night and gave him a signed copy of my short story published in the 'Truth' book. |
| Surprise! Viggo Mortensen was there, too. After all, his son was reading and as every other proud parent he didn't want to miss that for anything in the world! |
| With Fred Dewey and Brendon Constantine, another awesome poet who is now a teacher. I think, I want to got to that school! |
| Of course I gave a signed copy of my short story to Viggo, too. He in return signed one of his poems for me! |
