I don't know what to say except Thank You Very Much Professor Steele. I was a student during a summer class back in the 1980s. You taught me to read literature and to see literature as more than just words on paper. I learned that there is depth to what I read. Again Thanks You Very Much Professor Steele. - Posted by: Lynn Malboeuf (former student) on: Apr 18, 2022
