Dispatch from Forbearance Presbyterian Church
 The
Prose of Sharon
by Charlotte Johnstone
Ever since Gladys Kaminski retired after years as Forbearance's
secretary, Rev. Hustisford and the personnel committee have been
searching for someone to replace her, a task that has proven
more difficult than they could have imagined. Finding someone
with the necessary computer skills, bookkeeping knowledge and
general smarts was relatively easy, but discovering beforehand
what personal quirks or odd tendencies might lurk below the radar
of an otherwise ordinary curriculum vitae was something else
again. Several candidates had come and gone and Rev. Hustisford
was beginning to despair of ever finding another Gladys, a loss
he felt even more acutely now that Sharon, the committee's latest
"find," was installed at Forbearance's front desk.
