[to Gertie Kendrick who is dying from cancer]

Rose Fuller:
Think about what could be lost if you were to die. You wre there when Verrazzano landed. You saw Fernando himself search for treasure, helped Champlain map the coast of Maine, heard the first cannons of the Revolutionary War. You didn't read those things in history books - you lived them! That's why people read your books. That's why they're so authentic. No one else could do that.
