 The
saga of a brave, innovative family — one that confronts
a myriad of challenges and obstacles, yet manages to overcome them
all. Its characters are not just real, but truly real —
people who strive against odds, who often fail but more often succeed,
who treat life's adversities for the impostors they are. At core,
it is a true yet almost mythic tale of courage and grit, of family
and friends, of devotion and love.This inspiring book illustrates Churchill's dictum: 'Never, never, never give up.' It exudes hope. it gives the evolution of a family, a business, personal insights of one remarkable woman, and her abiding faith." — Gail Berendzen, President, Women of Washington, Inc. and Dr. Richard Berendzen, author and Professor, American University |
...I nearly ran into a young fellow waiting in line to board the bus.
His resemblance to the current heartthrob— Johnny Garfield—was
startling. He stood blocking my way, an unruly curl dangling on his
forehead. He gestured the curl away, but it sprang right back.He blurted out, "Haven't I seen you somewhere before?" Catching me by surprise, I answered dumbly, "Maybe." We stood looking at each other. Others, irritated that we were blocking the entrance, pushed us along. As I walked back to my familiar seat, I said under my breath, "what was that all about?" I tried to read the Chicago Tribune. Roosevelt...Pearl Harbor...England and France...Churchill...Hitler rampaging through Europe. It was all somewhat overwhelming. I glanced up to the seventh row. "Johnny Garfield" saw me look at him and turned away. We came to another stop and got refreshments. I didn't see him at first, but then noticed him gesturing and chatting with another fellow. I tried to pay no attention. We got on the bus again and I had two seats to myself. I closed my eyes and fell asleep next to the window. When I woke up, he was beside me. I looked right into his face, as he was staring into mine. "More air back here." "Oh!" I said, laughing to myself. I thought, "What an excuse!" — The day I met Blackie on a Greyhound bus heading to Washington D.C. |
