Carter Arnold Blume related audio slide show Walking Our Mothers

This is a link to Harry's latest published story, in the current issue of Conte Online.  It is published as fiction, but the fact is that every word of it is true as Harry remembers it.  Even the names. In it Harry tells the heroic story of an old man who was his friend, back in his law school days. Arnold Blume was Judith's Seventh Grade English and History teacher.  Hers was the first class he ever taught.  He is still teaching, as an 85 year old substitute teacher in the same system.  This is a feature article the New York Times wrote about him.  You should also watch and listen to the related audio slide show, voiced over by Arnold's narration. This is an article from Literary Mamas, by Kristin Berger, about her aging mother.  Well written.  Poetic.
