Job creators Richard Egan of EMC, Steve Jobs
Thinking about Steve Jobs, and our friend Dick Egan of EMC. Dick Egan and his partner Roger Marino, created over 45,000 jobs world wide. Steve Jobs created over 20,000 or 30,000 jobs....this is what America always was about....a person's ability to make a jump and in that jump create jobs for people.
My college professor , Dr. Reidell at Framingham University, always said to us in philosphy class, "We have an obligation to climb the ladder and in doing so, make way for those below us to start climbing to the top also." From my book, "Enchanted", coming next year.
Private sector jobs created by individuals, create stimulus. Just watch the lines in the streets to get the new Apple products, that is private sector stimulus.

Science News Daily 10 products that defined Steve Jobs' career Only in America! As my Dad often said to my brother and me, "You can be anything you want to be in America. Opportunity is there, all you have to do is reach for it."
While
Dad said these words, Japanese where being interred, and some Italians had started to be interred. I was wondering as a child, where we going to be interred?" The thoughts are from my new book, on the market in about 4 weeks," ENCHANTED", growing up in small town U.S. A. during the 2nd World War.
Lets all remember Steve Jobs as an example of the American way, where all of us have a chance, all we have to do is reach for it, and be the best we can be.

Most people can not make the mind shift, because their minds are too busy in the material world. It takes lots of practice to even begin to understand.

Enchanted, a memoir
Here is the front and back cover of my newest book, you can enlarge the print and read the back cover. I looked like that once, in 1949, so if you are wondering who that is, it is a long ago me, the person who lived the story. A story of love for our parents and all they and their generation sacrificed to keep us tucked safe in our beds each night, as the war raged around the world. It will be out before Christmas, probably late October or early November. Learn about downtown Framingham, and what kind of a society we were before and during the war.Sunday, October 2, 2011

BB King Stevie Ray Vaughan Etta James - Midnight Hour
Wow, can't believe I found this by these artists.....one of my favorite songs, really good dancing music!
Pavarotti & B.B. King The Thrill Is Gone
Can we dance to this? It is wonderful when some of the artists combine, like Tony Bennet and KD Lang...music for a rainy weekend. If you are in Newport Friday, watch for the antique Bentleys to pass by, they are heading to Castle Hill and more probably late morning....
Pavarotti & Barry White - My first, my last, my everything
The music in me wants to dance everyday, but, unfortunately I can't dance for hours as I once did, so I listen and imagine. Who would dream I could swing to Pavarotti?
Marvin Gaye Lets Get It On
Remember what a smash hit, this song was....and the beginning of a new dance style, it was a time!

Air travel started in about 1945, when there where people who said they would never fly.
They never did, they lived into this century....without ever getting on an airplane. From my new book, Enchanted, due out in November. "Whisper, whisper, they where afraid to fly."

Vera Lynn - When The Lights Go On Again.
We saw films like this scene in our Saturday matinee. We prayed for the lights to go on again, all over the world. Our hearts where in this song, as we prayed for our loved ones to come home alive, rolling bandages after dinner, with Mom at our kitchen table, in Framingham,Mass.
"You'll Never Know" (Vera Lynn, 1943)
Air mail letters flew across the Atlantic and Pacific to our fighting men, was it what got them through this terrible war?
White Cliffs of Dover-lyrics, sung by Vera Lynn
Songs of hope, from the wonderful British songstress, Dame Vera Lynn, her voice crossed the Atlantic and reached the heart of a little girl who was groing up in Framingham, Mass. We children grew up safe in our beds, because our men and women gave their lives and loves for our safety, hope you will read my new book, "Enchanted", about growing up in Framingham, Mass., during the war years, what life was like before and after the war...
