TheBanyanTree: New Constellation

[jodeneperrin at comcast.net]

I am headed to the used book store to buy "Red Fern" as I somehow got through 
childhood not reading it. Back to the line in Dale's story - it also reminded me of 
a Willa Cather one in "The Lonely Lady" - also made water fall from my eyes. 
Cheers!

I loved that line, too. It reminded me of one of the saddest books I 
ever read, as a kid called "Where the Red Fern Grows." I think they 
made it into a movie, too. If you love a good dog story...but it's a 
tear jerker.
