I'm going to send the link to your memoir archives to my friends in Kearny. Your vivid recollections are inspiring. I'm going through many things right now but I know that someday I will have a story of my own to share. Thanks again.
I stumbled on your site via an errant Google search... and I'm glad I did! Thanks for putting something so wonderful up - it just made me stop a moment and check that I'm making as good a job of my life as you have.
