I’ve been on a jihad — inner spiritual struggle — the past few weeks to reconnect on Facebook with friends from my past who are no longer in my life. Last night, I leafed through my 1983 and 1984 Placer … Continue reading
The Day My Doctor Died
My family has been lucky enough to have been adopted many times over our lives. It was 1977 that I first remember hearing the name “Zane Kime.” He was a medical doctor in California who was researching the danger of … Continue reading
