51 years later our marriage still works (so far anyway)
I know this will surprise many, but when we got married in December 1963, the theme of our wedding was – are you ready? — the wedding! We, Alex and I, were the stars of the show. Yes, it’s true, that was our only theme.

Wait a minute — when? I’m there now! Being over 70 is the verification of that. So, I’m old and I don’t care. Recently, I came across a bible for old women appropriately entitled “When I’m an Old Woman, I Shall Wear Purple,” edited by Sandra Martz.

Column: Books, books, books!
What are you reading? I read everything, whether it’s newspapers, poetry, letters – it doesn’t matter what it is. Books have always been my escape, my relaxation, my pastime, my solace. Books can be found everywhere in my home.
