Room 732
Since 1974, I have been writing in journals and have accumulated 345 volumes. One of my life goals is to read all of these journals and take highlights from them based on approximately fifty topics. While I have begun this project and have completed over two hundred, I still have a long way to go. In the meantime, occasionally I include some of the excerpts in other writing that I do.    I have spent the majority of my career in the field of education as both a teacher and an administrator. For the last twenty-six years, I served as the director of educational outreach at the Holocaust Documentation and Education Center in South Florida where I worked closely with Holocaust survivors ensuring that their legacy is perpetuated for this and future generations. I currently facilitate workshops which focus on preserving and passing along the essence of one’s life.  Recently, I completed Room 732, which is my debut collection of human interest stories. My inspiration came from my daily sunrise walks along Hollywood Beach where the old landmark Hollywood Beach Hotel has stood since 1926. I live in Miami, Florida with my husband of forty-five years.  We have two children and two granddaughters.
