On February 4, I spoke to students at the Christa McAuliffe Middle School in Palm Beach County, Florida over Zoom at the request of Dr. Alexander Bellas, Grade 8 English Language Arts Teacher.
It was a privilege to discuss my work and the art of writing with these students, and I’m offering the recording here of the question and answer session which followed.
If you have limited time, I’m offering a separate video of my parting words of wisdom for the students, prompted by Dr. Bellas.

A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Bellas, Kenisha Coates, Jeff Silverman and all of the students who participated – your questions were a true pleasure to answer!
Please do enjoy!
Terrific example of frank and open dialogue between students and “teachers”. I’m sure you inspired future writers with your candid discussion of what is required to write your story.
Thank you, Ms. Bingham. I very much enjoyed this presentation and your candidness about your family. I’ve seen you over the years at Actors Theatre of Louisville and in fact sat next to you once in the Theatre! I have been a volunteer at the theater for many years and was President of the Associates in the 1990’s.
I have written some of my story for my children and am now encouraged to write more. My Father left us a book of his life in Louisville and Washington, D.C. as an engineer with the Navy Department. I am so happy to have that as he is gone now.
I look forward to reading about Doris Duke as I have visited her home in Newport, R.I. Thank you again. Elizabeth Maratta Bergmann
