My Finest

By Janis Cramer

Janis Cramer, a true "Okie from Muskogee" Oklahoma, another one in a family of storytellers, has finally compiled experiences of her lifetime into one book, "My Finest." Inside you will find "Grandma's Panties," "My Ten Minutes with Bob Dylan," "2001, a Gorilla Odyssey," and "Some Girls Would," to name a few.Cramer, a creative writing teacher for 18 years at Muskogee High School and 23 years at Mustang High School in Oklahoma, has included in this portfolio of memoirs several genres of writing: childhood experiences, family stories, teacher lore, travel pieces, a professional piece for other teachers, and a couple of poems.Depending on what phase of her life you might have known the author--whether she was Sweetiepie, Janis Thomas, Mrs. Lowrance, or Mrs. Cramer--you might have heard her tell a few of these stories. Now you will have a chance to read the rest.At the end of each chapter is a reflection on the piece, put there for her students to show she practices what she preached. She hopes each piece in this showcase portfolio of her years of work will bring a belly laugh or a tear or two from the reader.
