so this will be an interesting “first”…
“Schools of Hope” – great book about one of Sears early presidents – who invested in the building of 5,000 plus African-American school buildings in the South from 1910-30 – he sponsored at least three in Shelby County – one looked to be in the Columbiana area – the book was a fascinating read – good without being preachy – the photographs alone were amazing
“Madamoiselle” – biography of Coco Chanel – the lady that gave us pretty purses and colognes:) Chanel was definitely an interesting read – she was abandoned by her father – the dad just left the kids after the mom died – Chanel had nothing to her name at 18 – and there were no options for women at that time – so what she did with her life was just amazing – that said, what she with the Nazis, collaborating during their occupation of France in WWII – that part was pretty unforgiveable to me – so forgive me if I go off on the next interlocking CC purse I see… 🙂
hope to get back to my story some time this week – first up is creating tests for the seventh grade to use across the county this year – yipee!!!
