With thanks to Pam Pannepinto

Am forever grateful to my sister's college room mate.  Many years ago on a university campus far far away, a young woman - Pam - grumbled to Mim about longing to finish her schooling & finally be able to "get out into the real world." 

That short comment grabbed my older sister's attention, who shared it in a letter to Mom, who shared it with me.  I was in high school, but already I knew that we ALL have "little" worlds we long to escape, all look to bigger worlds beckoning beyond the horizon of the familiar, the already known, the more. 

Even a wealthy young woman who came from a posh apartment on the rarified Upper West Side, already well educated & well traveled.
