Little Slices of My Life

It really surprised me that I started writing articles for The Jewish Georgian, a local (Atlanta) publication. You will be surprised too when you read how it began. The radio comes on at 7:00 a.m. A really nice tune is playing and a new day begins. But I am caught up in memories and lie in bed a little longer than usual. It is December 29. In a couple of days, the old year will end and the astounding fact is that 1998 will be here soon. Major events in my life start parading through my mind. The growing-up years in my hometown of Durham, North Carolina, the summers spent at Virginia Beach, my first marriage proposal when I was 18, graduating from school, going to college and away from home to work.
