April 4



50 Years Ago

      A college student
       caught between two worlds
          Immature
               Frightened
                    Determined

            JFK                                       RFK

 50 Years Ago

      A college student
      naive but eager
          To Be Accepted
               To Learn from People and Places
                    To Travel


            Vietnam                                 Protests
50 Years Ago

      A college student
       watches history being made 
         One Assassination at a Time
          Tears
                Tension
                       Heartache
      

                        MLK                                      LSU 1968


 50 Years Ago

      A college student
       Waves goodbye to innocence....

    I love your poem, Letty, and I love spring!! Larry & I just returned from Jena, LA where we worked (pro bono legal and Spanish interpreter) for a week. It was a fascinating & rewarding experience, and I had a glorious taste of early spring—so much green made me faint with jealousy!! Keep the lovely words coming! mb
