Genre Storytelling Comment by Sandra Trebilcock-Tica What an interesting family story you have! ! I admire the tenacity of your stock. I can't imagine living with an openly hostile government that is spying on me and coming home to my home that has been violently vandalized. Your family was very righteous and very brave! Still, I can understand why your Mom would move to Europe. Bravo Anne. Great piece. 2019-11-04T17:56:52Z Comment by Elyse Kaftan Listening for the third time and I have a smile on my face. :) Lovely. 2019-10-05T03:01:06Z Comment by Claude Laurent Thank you Anne. I understand now the reason each time I meet Irene I feel spiritualy elevated. Cheers to your family 2019-09-14T07:35:03Z Comment by Therese Ragghianti Communism, great music, civil rights, and teen love do a great story make! 2019-09-12T23:38:24Z
