GENE THORNE of the Waterloo (Iowa) Courier writes: "It has been my pleasure to observe Patty's career from the vantage point of the managing editor's desk at the daily newspaper where she started her writing career, and with which she is still associated. It hasn't been dull for anyone. "Patty Johnson is a sensitive woman who reacts (with vigor) to every aspect of life around her. Her reactions are those of most of her contemporary Americans only more so. And she has an overpowering urge to set them down on paper. "Her inspiration to write may come from almost anything: a sunset, a storm, a sob, a laugh, a gay party, or a dedication ceremony. "And, for her, inspiration means action." MM W,IM UelMy -. i . .
