It's been a looooong road getting here and I truly know I have earned that mother's pin! You should publish! Or maybe you already have?It's always great visiting the "musings".<BR/>Happy Thanksgiving!Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580619649435374268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-26797039597863925882008-11-27T10:00:00.000-05:002008-11-27T10:00:00.000-05:00Epiphany, he was good, but there was also another ...Epiphany, he was good, but there was also another side to him--I'm not sure how much I'll write about partying with him after work--back in the 80s when "happy hours" with large buffets were the going thing.<BR/><BR/>MH, tell me if you like the movie. As for the scouts, maybe I'll write more about my work. With the exception of summer camp and doing talks in schools, I had little youth contact. It was mostly working with volunteers.<BR/><BR/>TC, you know, I have had many "characters" in my life! A few of them, I hope, see me as a character :)<BR/><BR/>Scarlet, I'm sure I can dig up some photos!
