A Sunny Day for Snails

Philip Russell is a naturalized

Virginian, where he has lived since

1967. Having moved there after

graduating from high school in

Hazleton, Pennsylvania. Married

and father of three grown children.

While Philip has written several

poems, mostly to commemorate

family events, it was on a visit to San

Jose, California where his daughter

and family lives that he was inspired to write this account for his

grandson. There is another story waiting in the wings for his grand

daughter. So stay tuned. He never knew how wonderfully friendly

SNAILS are, until his grand son and he stumbled on them that

beautiful sunny spring day in San Jose!

Happy SNAILS to you!
