When you started with "She lived by three rules..." I assumed it was another Lois story. But no, you threw us a wonderful curveball and showed us a real person in the life of Clark Kent, whose own life was saved not by Superman but by Clark. And you showed us something about the real Clark, too. His assertion to Lois that "Clark Kent is who I am, Superman is what I do" rings even more true now.

Thank you for giving us such a lovely vignette. And thanks to Dandello for encouraging you to share this with us. It was a great decision for all of us.

Be sure and submit it to the archive, too! Stories this good should be preserved for future generations of L&C fans.
