Readers continue to share their thoughts

In an email to author Stewart Donovan, a reader of The Forgotten World of R.J. MacSween: a life recently commented:

"...The conclusionary writings you so skillfully linked with this man's poetic words left tears in [my] eyes and a deeply disturbed soul...."

Your last words "there was no sign of the man we'd known"... and [MacSween's] at the conclusion of "Learning," ("in the primary school of our last days"), hit this 73-year old as a spear to my heart and soul! You, Stewart Donovan, have made far more contribution to your readers than you could realize ... much in the manner of the man you wrote about."

"...feelings of joy that finally the Good Father was receiving his long over due---due!!"
