Like the people in the headlines, SMITH writers have their own celebrations, big and small, but they share theirs in the form of Six-Word Memoirs.

    Kudos to each Smith writer in this week’s The Best Six-Word Memoirs of the Week, for June 3, 2011. Enjoyed reading them all, and in some cases, commenting on them as well.
