10 Days in February... Limitations & 10 Days in March... Possibilities : A Memoir

As a child in the 1960s, my biggest and happiest influences were:

* living in the mountains of Colorado * experiencing Brownies
and Girl Scouts
* Laura Ingalls Wilder's
'Little House' books
* Helen Keller and her teacher,
Annie Sullivan
* caring for my baby sister
* creative expression in dance class
* going to Sunday School
