Lyndon B. Johnson & Hillary Rodham Clinton Quotes...

Poverty must not be a bar to learning and learning must offer an escape from poverty.


Hillary Clinton

• When I am talking about "It Takes a Village", I'm obviously not talking just about or even primarily about geographical villages any longer, but about the network of relationships and values that do connect us and binds us together.


No government can love a child, and no policy can substitute for a family's care. But at the same time, government can either support or undermine families as they cope with moral, social and economic stresses of caring for children

“Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.”

Personal Childhood Web


Dedicated to those who cared for me as a child.......

My mother for her round the clock care and wonderful spaggetti dinners. My adopted father who made everyday a fun adventure. My 3 sets of grandparents who cared for me, my brother, and little sisters. My Grandma and Grandpa Olsen who loved to take us to the beach. My Grandma and Grandpa Cain who taught us the love of the woods. My Grandmother Lorraine and Grandfather Tom who loved to hold us. My aunts and uncles, who not only babysat us, but told us scary stories! My best and most favorite 2nd grade teacher Mrs. Huserick, who took me under her wing and helped me through my deep shyness.

My grandbabies Mandy and Alice
