Remembering a friend; Milton Hankins

Blog Posted by Lin Lane: 12/5/2024 10:02:00 AM

On December 5, 2022, Milt posted a poem telling us it was his 81st birthday. December 22nd will mark two years since he's been lost to us. I posted part of another of his poems, 'I Shall Think of You,' on my page under this blog's title, if anyone is interested in reading it.

aww Lin what a lovely tribute, Milton was so supportive to me and many others on the site, he encouraged me to self publish my silly poems. I miss him dearly and feel emotional when i go back over and old poem and see his comments. hugs Jan xx

I feel our loss when I read an old comment he made on one of my poems or see his photograph. He encouraged so many of us. Thanks, Jan.

Lin, a wonderful tribute for Milton. It's hard to believe he has been gone for two years.

It's an honor he deserves, Tom. How can it have been two years already?
