A blast ffrom the past
I received a call yesterday from a woman I have not seen since 1968! She is from England and her father was stationed at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery. She now lives in DC and works for the London Times and is covering Barak Obama. She fondly remembers her time at the Montgomery Academy and I was one of three people she really wanted to contact. I must say that I am amazed that she remembers me and flattered at the same time. I do remember her, and I think that we teased her about her accent. Third and fourth graders are very cruel! We had a good but brief talk, she is going to visit the school this week and then she wants to have a longer talk. I cannot wait to hear from her again. There are people who drift out of our lives and we think that our paths will never cross, and I am so glad that ours has.
