And I still can see the phone on the kitchen counter and how thrilled I was.
What?
Ruth Graham's calling for me?
She said, I've got to go to Asheville.
You want to come with me and go to Pizza Hut?
I said, okay.
So that's what we did.
And she gave me the journal at that time.

I wrote many drafts.
I mean, from the time I started writing it...
Right before I turned 20, until I graduated from Davidson in 1979, I was doing one draft after another of it.
The whole time I was at Davidson, when everybody else was out socializing, I was working on this.
I was writing the next draft of it.
And by my junior year, it had become my honors thesis.
