The following stories are a trilogy. They are dedicated to my friend and mentor Jim Oestereich, as they are based in Minneapolis where he taught me and is my second home. I hope you enjoy them....

Alternate version of Sinners and Their Repentances:
This is the version of the story that was read by Lois Nettleton at Playhouse 22

Story Two: Relative Distances

Story Three: The Tentative Autumn

The following short story is NOT part of the trilogy. It was written a year ago just after the death of my father. It is not about his death, but of the grandparent of someone else who died two weeks prior. It is dedicated to her and her family.
