My friend Keith Geckeler, with whom I went to school from grades 1-12, is a minister in the San Francisco area. Recently, he shared with a storytellers group at his church a piece titled "I Grew Up" which is a series of one sentence vignettes from childhood. It was on Zoom and someone recorded it and posted it on You Tube. Keith's wonderful portion, beginning at 36 minutes, catches everything about growing up in Middletown in the 1950s.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epFtOH2418M

And did he have a much younger sister named Kim?

Thursday morning greetings! I did nothing productive yesterday, but Richard did take me for a belated birthday lunch at the Cheesecake Factory.
Would love to see a photo of your wreath, DR Ron Pulliam.
We need a little Christmas now.
What kind of birthday cake or pie lies in store?
I can't post my usual virtual birthday cake because the site is not allowing me to post images.
