A Lifetime Ago in a Neighborhood Now Far Away- Pt. 1

Two Tales of a City- Pt. 8

2011 Our first day in New York was a full one. The first stop was Battery Park. As we headed for the southern tip of Manhattan our bus took us down West Street and past Ground Zero, offering us a view of the under construction Freedom Tower. It warmed my heart that the kids on… Read More Two Tales of a City- Pt. 8

Two Tales of a City- Pt. 7

1981 One of the adults on the bus, presumably an official with the State Thespians, was doing her level best to give us final instructions before we disembarked.

Two Tales of a City- Pt. 4

2011 The first week of the 2010-11 school year at Bishop Dwenger High School had come to an end. Mary invited me over for dinner with her, Mitch, and the girls. During the typical pre-dinner hubbub, Maggie told me that the Bishop Dwenger show choir was going to New York City the following spring for… Read More Two Tales of a City- Pt. 4

Two Tales of a City- Pt. 3

1981 It was just a few weeks into my senior year when my letter of acceptance into Purdue University arrived in the mail. My career path into engineering was seemingly set in stone. I was elated to be going to school at Purdue and with the possibility of rooming with one of my best friends… Read More Two Tales of a City- Pt. 3
