Dr. Gardner - your pieces deserve thousands among thousands of claps; I know you probably write and then go and enjoy your beautiful retirement life. Please know this -- in my little two months on Medium, Medium rewards writers who treat this like a social platform, and I'm quickly learning why many incredibly talented writers get frustrated.

Please know -- your writing is truly out of this world; it's perfect! I love it so much -- and I hope you write for years and years on Medium!!! I loved this story -- aw heck, I love them all!!
