My curiousity is whetted -- thanks Judy. I can hardly wait to read Robinson's "When I was a Child I Read Books." Even the title is intriguing as I was one of these kids that's nose was always stuck in a book. I read "Gilead" and enjoyed it thoroughly. Robinson's ...

As I sit in my not palatial but comfortable home, my heart goes out to those members of our society that live where they can, parking lots, highway rest areas, etc. I wonder, how can the politicians and those in other decision making positions which affect the homeless, justify their ...

I've had a dream during my adult years of having the wealth it takes to do as the Allen Family Foundation is doing, distributing grants that make a difference in the lives of the receipients. Alas, that will never happen so I get a vicarious thrill out of reading of ...

I give thanks for people such as Bronson and Merryman and the people who were part of their educational formation (ie. Judy Lightfoot). We need more people in our culture speaking out about the roots of racism and how we can help to create and maintain a society free of ...

As a former educator I know first hand what it is like to teach children who are homeless, undernourished and are lacking the proper amount of sleep. We have a moral obligation to our children. How can we, the richest country in the world, condone the lack of financial support ...
