Helping One Another

9 Feb

I like being around people who talk about pleasant things and I like to talk about pleasant things, too.

Public People Are People, Too.

Yesterday I was writing about the end of World War II and the years immediately after World War II when Harry Truman was president. I often read my history writing aloud to Ray.
