I find it wonderful to enter a room to speak and hear someone say, “Hi, Libby.” That’s exactly what happened on Sunday, January 10, when I spoke at Temple Beth Torah in Ventura and many of my neighbors attended. So many familiar faces smiled at me as I told my tale of living in three worlds: the one in which I grew up, the one I chose as an adult, and the one I discovered in late middle age. To say that my life is a juggling act would be an understatement.
I would like to thank the members of Temple Beth Torah’s Brotherhood, who hosted me, and those who sat at rapt attention as I spoke. I would especially like to thank my friend and colleague Ivor Davis, author of The Beatles and Me on Tour, for suggesting to the Brotherhood that they ask me to speak. What a lovely reception I had!
Thank you all.
