While you were the runt of the litter, like Babe, you out shined the other siblings.
A couple of adds, from me.
Each era has its vices and your mother’s was booze and cigarettes, pushed by American Tobacco Company and Hollywood.
As a “liberated” woman of the 1920s your mother smoked Phillip Morris, one of the worst of the worst.
Remember, “Call for Phillip Morris “ TV commercials when mom would light up?
Well, nicotine is probably the most addictive drug pushed on the USA population.
I can testify in support of this for smoking menthol cigarettes for over 50 years, quitting often but always going back to my friend, Salem, a Camel with menthol filter.
Here’s your Mother’s Day tidbit. Your mother always stopped smoking when she knew she was pregnant.
Way, way back in the 1940s she overcame addiction because she suspected smoking wasn’t good for those in the incubator.
Thank you, Mike. What grand memories you have of your family growing up together. Your mom was a courageous woman, and she taught you all how to use your own voices, which you passed along to many, many students and peers.
