Robin Roberts definitely belongs on the Baseball Stars…

When my husband and I met as teenagers…

To quote from a skit on Saturday Night Live:

A strong memory I have…

Lately I’ve taken up pipe smoking again.

This is a photo of the actual program…

It was about the same size…

Ninety-seven years ago…

When I was 7 my family started having family meetings.

They were weird but fascinating.

Violets would grow randomly in our yard…

I remember some of Mom’s favorite dinners.

“DON’T USE THAT KNIFE TO OPEN A PULL-TAB!”

My father, Gordon Brant, had a dazzling smile…

When my mother died…

The first gift my husband Peter gave me…

Sitting atop my bedroom dresser…

As a little squirt…

At an awkward age—meaning some time in junior high—

I was only a month past my 17th birthday…
