Muldoon Illustration by Yvette Silver (www.yvettesilver.com) The craziest homework assignment I ever had came in seventh grade, when my English teacher, Miss Cox, had us write “living epitaphs”—the words we would like to see on our tombstones. | Wheel Life By Charles N.

Muldoon When I was in eighth grade, I spent my winter break working on a poster for a contest our local newspaper was sponsoring for National Safety Month.
