Reviews
Excellent short story





ListeninginChicago
This is an excellent short story interwoven with lessons of character and humility. It also serves as a bit of a history lesson on the senior societies and traditions of Yale. Roger Melin does an excellent job reading this solo project for libribox.
Enjoyed this

Enjoyable story reminding one not to overlook what appears to be the 'commonplace.' The narration was excellent.

Roger is one of the best narrators. The story is wonderful. Talent may get you into the position that you desire. Character determines your length of stay.
Excellent
