I was a strange feeling seeing both of those together. We did not realize what was truly happening in our little sleepy town and what it would become. Yes, I feel blessed to have grown up then & there.

But have you wanted to share your experiences?
There are no good reads out there.
There is an audience there that would want to know what you experienced from your young perspective.
My God, whom you have seen, met and known!!
