...till the sun comes up over Santa monica BLvd"

I had 3 quotes this week nominated. That kicks ass.

Many years ago when I first started writing the stories told by my family about our family history and about neighbors and friends and the community in which my family lived, I envisioned presenting an aspect of American history which during my own childhood was not presented in the history books. I envisioned presenting a family united in love and self-respect, and parents, strong and sensitive, attempting to guide their children successfully without harming their spirits, through the hazardous maze of living in a discriminatory society. I wanted readers to know this family, based upon my own, and I wanted them to feel akin to them and to walk in their shoes. The presentation at the National Council of Teachers of English Convention of the JetNation POTW Award signifies to me that perhaps I have achieved some of these goals I set so long also, and I sincerely thank you for this great recognition. I can now die in peace.
