I really have mixed feelings on this. Smith was really an inspiration to me
with his cooking shows and I bought most of his books. I especially liked the
one on immigrants, as I could finally find some recipes from my two odd
nationalities, Romanian and Lithuanian. I guess they are not known for their
cuisine.
On the other hand, I think that many more men
came forward when the scata hit the fan, so I wonder. I think that the clergy
and teachers have a certain trust that they must uphold. But I'll never know
what really happened.
A boyfriend I had was seduced by a friend of ours mother when he was 17. You
don't know the whirlwind that caused us. He wanted to leave town and was
pretty desolate. Not to mention what I went through, as his girlfriend. But,
we survived it.
