Thanks, Shawn! It's a little daunting to think about developing a bit of a new voice. But I'm hoping to retain Togo's accent.

I look forward to reading more. I am confident Togo’s heart was as much a reflection of you as you were of Togo. To that end your heart and what his brought you will continue to inform and entertain us.

Thanks, Jeff! Togo has been good for me. And I do think he liked having me around. We shaped each other. Thanks, especially, for your friendship and encouragement.

I'm tuned in. Togo will always be part of the spirit in the writing. Even though it might not be his story, he is part of you, your energy, and spirit. Write whatever comes to you. We are reading and listening. You have been my muse.

Thanks for your constant encouragement and desire to interact. In a previous comment to Shawn, I mentioned that I am apprehensive about developing a different voice. But in keeping with your thoughts, I hope that I can always retain Togo's accent. :-) You are so kind. I'm proud to be part of your story and feel that whenever I see the ways that you have constantly pursued the role of peacemaker -- and trumpet player.
