I fell in love with this song in 1965 and it continues to be my national anthem for not only February, the love month, but for the rest of the year, too…hope you enjoy.
I graduated from the University of Georgia in 1972 with a major in journalism (public relations) and a minor in business (marketing). My experience for the last 40 years includes working in the corporate world (banking), the newspaper industry (advertising design and sales), owning and selling a restaurant, restoring and utilizing several old buildings on the property, teaching private dance and drama lessons for 20 years, free-lance writing for a national textile firm, publishing two children’s books, and ghost writing a book. My last tour of duty before beginning the current chapter was working as a reporter, photographer, and columnist for five weekly community newspapers.
And now I teach...media writing at Columbus State University in Columbus Ga. I consider myself very fortunate--I get to be around intelligent, energetic and enthusiastic young people. What a joy.
I believe the written word is one of the most powerful tools known to humankind. And now we have the ability to reach millions with a simple click of the mouse.
Wow.
Pam,
Yes, this is one of my favorites, too: The music is upbeat and the words so promising.
Thanks and thanks!
