Verifying that i am certainly enrolled in soc.395-05 for credit (feb 4). i will be stopping in on thursday after my classes have ended about 2:15. i have been checking the your site over this morning, there is always a variety of subjects for me to read and think about. i have started to read "the battle for god", so i can speak with you about it and i have a few comments on our text'states of denial" also. i had the opportunity to attend the pasadena playhouse on january 18th to see "looking over the presidents shoulder". it was about alonzo fields: eyewitness to history as the butler for 21 years at the white house,to about four presidents and the play gives his account on the personal side of those presidents,their families, their personalities and what his job was and how he had to act in front of the president and the activities in the white house. it was a brilliant reenactment, very graceful done. alonzo fields, did pass away in 1994, but the play was a tribute to this man and the man responsible for this production , stated that he wanted more people to know who alonzo fields was , and that he was one of millions of people who had done an invisible job and did it with grace and talent, that he was a black man working in the white house, pre-civil rights, a man who was able to serve without pretense, to serve his country's leaders and world leaders. it was a wonderful play and i just wanted to share that with you. i would also like to share with you a book that i discovered called "ladies in waiting", by linda hudson-smith, it is about women who meet at a correctional system and try to put their lives together while dealing with loved ones that are in jail, i haven't started reading it yet but the writer was at a book signing in inglewood at zahara's book store on la brea and centinela ave,and i decided to purchase her book. thought you might be interested, will bring it on thursday. bye for now.
