My mom has always been a writer. In the 1960’s and 1970’s she had columns in a number of magazines: Highlights for Children, Today’s Family, Music Digest. A lot of articles and children’s books published.
But she was shaken to the core on August 9, 1974. It has affected our family ever since, she has never gotten over it. From a fun loving docent to a guarded, jaded observer.
She has taught me well to be careful - to enjoy life but to know there are evil people out there!
What happened on that date?
