Thursday

Having grown up through the civil rights era in my early childhood, I was somewhat hopeful we would have harmony and peace in the USA. That hopefulness started to disintegrate when Reagan was elected to be president.

I stay in contact with my friends of the same age because we are just mortified with current events.

Hang in there!
