Request #648 from Jodi

I am trying to locate a short story called “The Visit.” It was published in the 1960s or possibly the early 1970s. My recollection was that it appeared in Co-Ed Magazine. It might have appeared in Seventeen, but I doubt it (I’m sure I read The Visit before I started reading Seventeen. My older sister had old Co-Eds lying around and I would have found the story there). I remember the story received an honourable mention in a short story competition. 

I don’t recall the author’s name; the story is told in first person by a young teenaged girl who is sent to stay with her grandmother. She is made to have lunch with the next door neighbour’s disabled son. 

Solved: “The Visit” by Gretchen Barrow

  1. Ebay has Co-ed magazines. (I bought a few several years ago for nostalgia.) Sometimes the seller includes a picture of the table of contents. You could browse through the listings there and see if you can find it that way. Good luck!
