INSIDE, LOOKING OUT
The year was Fall of 1955. I headed from Gainesville, Georgia, to Madison, Wisconsin, to attend the University of Wisconsin. Why? I want to explore new territory. Like now.

Where do I begin? It is only August 18, and I feel like I have lived several lifetimes during this month. It started on Monday, July 31st.

DON’T TAKE YOUR LIBERTIES FOR GRANTED!
This week, I was planning to write a blog about the month of August, but I will save that for when we get to August on the calendar. But, this August will be an important month for me.
