title: Conversations with Sarah
author: Stewart, Gil
description: FOR DECADES HANK ROLLAND HAD RELIED ON SARAH'S LOVING PRESENCE and common sense counsel. Then, far too soon, she was gone, leaving him alone to rely on his own resources.  UNTIL A STARTLING NEW POSSIBILITY BUBBLED TO THE SURFACE. Could it be that Sarah had not deserted him after all? Was it real, the affirming sense of her comforting Clabber Girl presence? THE 'WILEY WIDOWS' WERE BEGINNING TO CIRCLE---fist Angie, then Marybeth. When conventional answers eluded him, Hank turned to what had always worked before---a quiet Conversation With Sarah? MEANWHILE, MR TOUCHDOWN HAD TURNED SEVENTY. The years, however, had not dimmed his interest in the high=school coed who had spurned his advances so long ago.
