My mom taught me how to read. She told me that someday she’d be gone and she wanted me to know how to read. I like poetry, Emily Dickenson is one of my favorites. I had trouble with algebra though. When it got to letters instead of numbers, that was difficult. Mom was a teacher so I had to graduate from high school. I did graduate and it was the happiest day of my life. My brother knows calculus, and I’m lucky to know that one plus one equals two, but I can spell better than he can!
I met Aneta in 1979, when I was very fortunate to be hired at the BCBFDD as a case manager. She and I had our own bookclub. We checked the same book out of the Boulder Public Library and read it, she read faster than I.Her insights were wonderful as well as memorable , 34 years later. Thank you, Aneta for being a part of my life.
