Paul’s People, No. 48

One of the fun things about this selfies project has been getting to meet readers.

Until this morning, I had corresponded with Teri Maurice for years but we had not met. But she and her husband relocated from Sandpoint this summer.

As I discover over and over when meeting readers, she is a delight. Welcome to Spokane.

Here’s something Teri sent me back in 2000. It ran in the paper on Dec. 7 of that year.

“Sandpoint’s Teri Maurice once turned to ‘Star Wars’ for help finding some keys on a camping trip. ‘I concentrated, said ‘The Force is with me,’ looked around and at that moment a ray of sunlight hit the tiny edge of a key sticking up out of the sand.’”
