I USED TO LIVE IN MIAMI

I worked in the main library near Biscayne Bay.

I graduated from Miami Jackson High School,, took art and was on the Globe staff.  I took Radio Speech and was a dee jay some Saturdays, courtesy of Mr. Fisher our teacher.  At one point I got free lunch while a student there. Mrs. Halliday was my homeroom teacher.

The thought of Miami this day, Tuesday, is saddening.  I think of the lemmings…the lemmings and of the Pied Piper of Hamlin.

And then I thought of those dangerous high wire acts, some of which proved deadly.  And then I felt like praying.
