Conversation

Bea and Ethel in conversation

I love this picture of my mother, Beatrice, and her best friend, Ethel. I took this picture sometime in the 1960s or 1970s at our dining room table in Sacramento. That's my dad's hand in the foreground. My mother and Ethel were both school teachers and they were always talking about education, politics, and the system. It is such a great picture -- of two people talking and listening and sharing. It is the essence of human connection. I'd much rather do this than network, wouldn't you?
