I only had the opportunity to listen to readings by Gina Ochsner and Marilyn Nelson. Mrs. Ochsner read snippets from her book “The Hidden Letters of Velta B.” As Ochsner’s character‚ Inara is dying‚ she finally begins to share stories of her family with her son. Inara tells her son about her grandmother‚ Velta‚ who grew up in Latvia during the time that many immigrants‚ such as misplaced Jewish immigrants‚ began to settle into the country. Velta’s story appeared to be mostly centered on her Uncle

Most of the operations and functions that are necessary to make the communication process work are in the invisible layer of the iceberg‚ the layer that’s underwater and can’t be seen. This idea of communication having two layers‚ hidden and visible‚ interests me because often times most people do not understand the importance of the invisible aspects of communication. I always tell my kids‚ it’s not what you said; it’s how you say it that matters most. Understanding this is critical
