The Rest of the Story
Moving Out of Town
In the summer of 1963, just before my seventh birthday, we had fallen on hard times and had to move away from the town where I was born. I remember being all excited about the move. About two days after we moved into our next home, I told my parents that I was done and ready to go back to the old house. Somehow, I didn't get that this wasn't just a vacation -- that the change was permanent.
