Bev and I regularly attended dance weekends in Charleston always staying at Bette and Walter's beach house on the Isle of Palms. Usually there were about ten of us who stayed there. Coming back to the house after a dance, we are always too wound up to sleep, and stay up for hours talking and solving world problems. Something that came up one night was how, as we get older, we become interested in the lives of our parents and grandparents. Of course, now is too late. My parents had been dead for years. It occurred to me I should start a journal with some recollections of my childhood, the kind of day-to-day stuff I would like to know about my parents. Then my children will know something about growing up in the deep South in the 1940s and 1950s and about me in particular.I started this project strictly for my children but soon realized I was doing it primarily for me. As I began recording some of my memories, others, long forgotten, came rushing back. Systematically recalling my childhood has given me many hours of pleasure and also a better perspective on who I am and why I am that way.
