Welcome to the fall. Touching bases and wondering how you are. Feel free to drop me a line in the guestbook. It has been an extra special few months in both the country and the world. We have discovered heat waves and floods, lost many who are dear to us, COVID continues to mutate and we head yet again to the polls to see what the future brings. Throughout it all… just remember we are resilient. We’ve been through tough times before. With some introspection and balance we can weather this storm too. Summer reunions… and now a change of seasons…. why not enjoy some music while you’re here? Reme ..read more

We have had a lot of good people fighting the good fight over the decades and a relative few are given the seal of approval by polite society. I once had this very conversation with Coretta King at the Congressional Black Caucus in Washington DC.

There is even a picture of the actual ship which brought them. Immig ..read more
