I am here for Friends

About Me

I grew up in the 1950s and 1960s in Mt. Airy (Philadelphia). Life was very different then. I didn't know about Racism or Anti-Semetism -- everyone just got along. Philadelphia was the "City Of Brotherly Love" back then and I wish it could be that way again.
Retired biochemist (32.5 years), married (Robert G), one daughter (37) and one granddaughter (3).
