[bksvol-discuss] Re: wish list and Sue Barton.

Thanks Valerie! I think it's Rural where she gets in car wreck and
daughter's leg is broken, a big event. I think Senior is when Sue and buds
get trapped or lost in hospital underground tunnels. These scrapes stayed
with me 40+ years....

I won three Sue Barton paperbacks on eBay last week - Rural, Senior,  
and Visiting Nurse and will let you know when I can get to them.  Most  
are pricey and our library is no help, but I will buy the bargains  
when I can find them.  These were a set of 3 under $10.  Smiles.

HTH!
