You are a courageous inspiration, Celia; we all "have your back," for whatever that may be worth. Rally this morning, dear, strong Celia -- we need you! A little vignette for you, in hopes that it brings a smile: My mom, who was widowed at age thirty-three, and raised me with the help of her mother, who had been deafened (by a botched throat operation, in the late 1890's) absolutely adored WOR, and --most especially -- your dad's wonderful program, and "Long John" Nebel. To this day (I'm now seventy-five), the David Rose version of "Forbidden Planet" brings a tear, and goose bumps. My childhood home, out in Blue Point (L.I.) was so small that I shared a double bed with my mom until I was a teen, when my grandma's bedroom became vacant (due to her having to go into a nursing home.) Needless to say, my mom's lifelong insomnia caused the nights of my youth to be a blur of dreams, carried along by your dad's voice, and the strings of the Rose orchestra!

Hi Celia, I hope it goes well. I am on holiday in the Amalfi Coast in Ravello, Italy, with my 92-year-old mom. We will be sight-seeing at the time of your Zoom call. Thank you for the insightful analysis and questions you offer here on The Truth Barrier. It is a lifeline.
