How time flys, it is good to think about, people in the past. Rita and I were childhood sweethearts,and we went our separate ways for 30 yrs, and in May we will be married for 2 years, got married at the old courthouse here in Knoxville. As much in love as we were then.
Hubby and I went our own ways for 10 years after we met and then ran into each other in a book store and the rest is history. Also suddenly all the people I used to hang out with in Chicago in the 1970's are all moving to AZ and we have hooked up again. Boy you just never know
Ah, we all have those people who seem to have just drifted into the fog of memory or life. But remembering them, as you two do, keeps their spirits alive! My wife and I moved many times in the 8 years I was in the Navy. We met and loved being with many people whom we have lost track of. But we do talk about them often. We walk through our life, remembering where we were, what happened and who we miss in those times. I hope you two do not intend to disappear from my life any time soon! I would LOVE to see a video of your 1 man show, John! Be happy. Gary

HOW I GOT HERE
I'm a writer, writing things that haven't brought me fame, but continue to involve me, inspire me to find an audience.
I started out as a modern dancer, contemporary, but balletic. I didn't want to be a swan, or a barefoot dancer. I wanted to dance to the music that thrilled me as a child, and made me want to be a dancer.
I began writing in the truck my first husband, Mark Ryder and I bought, in order to carry our set, props, and costumes for a long one-night-stands tour -- eighty-eighty performances in eighty-eight cities.
We were performing "Romeo and Juliet" nightly, but our marriage was breaking up. Every day while our stage manager drove us two-hundred miles or so to the next booking, I'd type a detailed description of last night -- what we did well, what we argued about, and a travelogue about the town, and comments from the people at the nightly party.
Recovering from the trip and the divorce, I sent my "car book" to a friend who said -- "Em, it's great, but ..." And that became rewrites, and another book. Then, my marriage to actor John Cullum, and then a play that got produced, and another book, big hopes because a famous agent loved it. The title and concept changed five times -- now it's been published, finally, as "Somebody, Woman of the Century." You can buy it, or read about it and my other five novels on Emily Frankel.com
