Claudia W. Harris

CLAUDIA W. HARRIS briefly pursued her interest in theater at BYU but, still a first￾quarter freshman, was cast as a professor's wife, then promptly married her co-star, Chet, who has since, as the script seemed to dictate, become a professor. Leaving her first love, Mount Timpanogos, she has followed her husband to Idaho, Samoa, Minnesota, and now Georgia, picking up on the way, incidentally, three children and other valuable adventures. Where she caught the Irish passion she does not know, but it refuses to wane even though she's now in the throes of writing her dissertation on Northern Ireland. A Ph.D. candidate in the Graduate Institute of Liberal Arts, Emory University, she is also a writing consultant for government agencies. Honesty dictates that she admit the letters used in this essay were edited, but to cure long-windedness not to change content.
