To San San Tin - Memories of Santa Barbara -

Santa Barbara Writers Confce - I went there abt 1998

Rape of Nanking author Iris Chang who years later committed suicide with a shotgun was keynote speaker.

You should go - classes just classes but location in Santa B and Montecito to die for - too bad Louisa is no more.

She came to see me in LA and told me how her brother Jonathan who was my classmate died.  And host at house where I was staying, Taw, is also gone.

So Sad.
