Thank you for an outstanding article, Frances. I think we are of a similar age group and cohort. The list you shared is something - I read only a few entries and though I know how privileged I've been, it's a truly stunning list to sit and think of how easy so many things have been for me, and so difficult for others. I'm into fashion too and loves to shop at Loehmanns. That line-cutting story really burned me up! I felt proud of your mom too.
