Great column! Excellent listening seems to be in short supply these days but I still hold out hope it will eventually come back in style.
I'm on a mission to get rid of clutter particularly clipped out articles, cartoons, family stuff, etc. One clipping with no date was an oped from Marshall, "Listening to the Women Talk on Thanksgiving Day". I had no memory of this oped but it deserves to be reprinted. Women talking in the kitchen after Thanksgiving dinner was over and all the males in the den watching football. The males sat mostly in silence unless commenting on the game while the women were talking about life, feelings, etc. As a young girl, I remember eavesdropping on the women in the kitchen, more interesting than the silence in the den although it was frustrating when they noticed me and started speaking Finnish to each other when the topics were not for children.
I had clipped out columns from 2003 to 2004 by Vera Million in the Tower newspaper which were a delight. I don't remember the man's name who wrote the columns or how many years he wrote them but he had a quirky sense of humor.
