Mailbag

Dear Ms. Rogers,

Your show brings me great pleasure as I sit hammering out the fifth book of my memoirs which I began when I retired in 1996.


Your question about embellishing memoirs made me think. I concluded, I don't. I do leave many things out when they might hurt someone and add nothing to the whole story I'm telling.

Of course, I can't really remember every conversation verbatim, but I always stick to the idea and truth of interchanges even when I come out looking bad.

Thanks so much for the programme.

Someday, if I ever have the nerve to attempt to find an agent or publisher, maybe I'll be able to show you one of my books.

Big Smiles,
Ken Jon Booth
