I have recently reconnected with my high school classmates through an all-school reunion and realized one of life's lessons... I wish I'd gotten to know more of them better way back when! Chalk it up to youth and insecurity, I suppose, but it's a pleasure to reconnect with them now in social media and in "real" life. Also, my youngest (a daughter) just graduated high school with honors and is headed off to college--and it brings back so many memories of the naiveté we all experience at that age... not to mention the specter of becoming an empty nester. Like the 4 broads on this website, I have thrown myself--full-body--into writing and blogging, so I'm thankful for that. When it gets too quiet around this house, I'll have something to do. And by the way, don't sell yourself short. I'm sure you have virtues Gloria Allred is missing. :-)<br />http://marciacoffeyturnquist.com/<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02599964214172874456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843414525694557803.post-32108992178598901452014-06-25T06:42:00.478-04:002014-06-25T06:42:00.478-04:00Hi Mary, I'm one of those people whose alma ma...Hi Mary, I'm one of those people whose alma mater, Cardinal Dougherty is no more. I was almost a Girl's High Girl, too. My uncle worked for the school district and really wanted me to go there. I won out and went to CD because I wanted to be with my friends. Ah, the priorities of a 13 year old :)<br />Carol Fragale Brillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02832865888789761328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843414525694557803.post-47667256465934528152014-06-24T13:28:03.827-04:002014-06-24T13:28:03.827-04:00Awesome story, Mary.

I never dreamed that marriage and a family would be my only destiny. Perhaps it was the times -- Gloria Steinem and Ms. Magazine. But I think it was the school that made us realize that women could have the same power and influence in the world as men. <br /><br />I'm glad Girls High has endured, as my high school Little Flower, also has made the cuts despite its location near the Badlands in North Philly. <br /><br />Girl power!<br />ChrisChris Bradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400228290978730369noreply@blogger.com
