My roommate is 87 years old today. She is actually my godmother and my aunt. She had me come to live with her in January of 2002. We have actually become true roommates and she is the best roommate I have ever had.
Fran (my aunt) has such a wonderful memory that I am able to share things she remembers about world events, with my students. She is always able to talk about the little things that never appeared in the news of that day.... her husband's stepmother had been married to a man who was one of Hitler's elite. She would have to go to dinners, etc. where Hitler was in attendance. My uncle's stepmother said that when Hitler looked in your eyes, it was as if evil was looking into you.
Happy Birthday, Fran!
