"No Nappy Headed Grandchildren" and My Swedish Grandmother" - by Campbell and Merrin
First of all, I want to wish you all the very best of holidays, full of joy and peace and, yes, hope.
Then, I give you this delightful piece of theater by my friend, Marilyn Campbell, now known for her transformation of Crime and Punishment into a prize-winning play, and her daughter, Maria Marrin, whom I've known since she was 12. With its themes of being bi-racial, being the white mother of bi-racial child, being "white," being "black," teenage rebellion, inter-generational conflict and resolution of a lifetime's issues with a dying Swedish grandmother, it is, to say the least, timely. It is also touching and funny. Enjoy.
love to all,

Thanks. *smile* ...and a merry and a happy and everything, to you, too.
I really enjoyed these videos. Thank you for posting them. You have the most interesting friends, probably because you are a most interesting person. You will probably notice that I was scanning your past posts. I didn't remember reading many of them so I took the time to do so today. Enjoy the holiday. Judy
just wanted you to know that i was thinking of you today w/ a smile and a bit wistfully....
I am going thru my subs and trying to reconnect after being gone for so long. I smile when I read your name "pearl bamboo" since you are one of a kind just like your name!
