This took place while I was recently in NY but because of the internet isses I haven’t posted this before. We had a lovely dinner in the home of Caroline Hirsch. Gloria Steinem sat at one table and I at another and we switched at dessert time. Besides the interesting conversation, two things moved me in particular about the evening: the multigenerational aspect with mothers bringing daughters and daughters bringing mothers and the presence of two good men. It always touches me deeply when men show up in support of women’s organizational efforts and really GET it.

After dinner I did an emotional reading from my memoirs about my experiences making ”On Golden Pond.”

So there you have it.

    On Golden Pond can be emotional for millions of people. I know with me it was beyond that. In fact, I used that as my first writing piece in my creative writing class this year. I wrote about it and expressed what it, and your book did for me. I must say, the paper was a hit in my class! :)

    you’re look insightful within your photo’s as well Jane. On Golden Pond is a film you can view over and over and find things that move you, the film is more of a experience in the long run.
    Media centers in general are a than that you find in other nations , this has not surprised me at all, as a media specialist, the needs in communities are there. Media and new technology based learning also.

    Gloria Steinem is one of my role models. I cannot imagine what it is like to be in her presence. Also, what excerpt did you read? I own your autobiography and your stories on On Golden Pond are just a treasure as the film itself.

    The novel, “Rivers of Life To The Ocean of Love” has a character named Sarah who remonds me of you.

    You are a traitor and a piece of shit. Your country is ashamed of you. How could you dare treat the soldiers the way you did during Vietnam. Hurry up and die you old hag.
