“And Ma’am Ophie would always find the time to entertain us, to answer our questions, to send us off literary events, to encourage us to write—to write well. If she wasn’t there, the junior associates of the Center were, and we would often soon find ourselves making merry, discussing lit and other sh*t elsewhere, usually at the “batcave”. But write we did, some of us well enough to make it to Ustetika, then the national writing workshops, then Palanca. I could also dare to say those were the glory days of the Thomasian studentry’s creative writing.”
