About the Author

A Synopsis

August 30, 2013

I, Geraldine Griffith, was born in a prominent section of Brooklyn, NY. My father was of Italian decent and my mother of Irish and Scottish decent, both born in this country.

I am a mother of two children, a son and daughter, whom I love dearly.

I have partially revealed to you, through the contexture of my book, who I am.

As a child, I was quiet and of sensitive nature. My realm of interest was primarily that of poetry, music, opera, etc. My literary favorites being Shakespeare and Elizabeth Barrett Browning and my musical favorites, the old timers, —Robert Merrel, Jan Pierce, and Mario Lanza. I could not contain myself enough to merely listen to them, I had to sing along. I was able to reach the high notes too… proudly. I was a true patron of the arts and did not know it.

At home I enjoyed singing opera with my jovial and talented Father. I remember going to the Metropolitan Opera House in New York with my Mother and Italian Grandmother. Another note of pride that I must mention, my Mother’s Mother danced with King George of England.

You see, my grandfather was highly ranked in the English Army. —God bless America, with all its descendents—.

So you see, my past, my childhood, my interests… still, to this day, played a part in molding me into the person I have become today.

I missed a lot along the way, yes, yet I burst with a love for life, for being, for loving, for caring and dreaming. I am thankful to God for granting me this sensitivity that I possess. I wish I could have accomplished more. However, we all must be thankful for what we do have.

I have a strong feeling of concern for people I meet… never a stranger, only another human being like me.

I find a positive attitude always helps. Why not—after all—life is what you make of who you are…

Love,

Geraldine Griffith

An Acknowledgement

My encouragement came from my good friend Timothy Crampton—. He urged me to release my thoughts, that which I have written through the years. To get them out there, to be read, and to roam, wherever. As to the alternative, —of being hidden, lost, and gone—.

So here I am again, out there hopefully in your thoughts. I thank you.

Please enjoy!

With kindness,

Gerri Griffith
