This photo of RHS 1977 grad Jim Velordi was posted on FaceBook by Jane Ratliff. He was playing with the band Walkin Joe at The Cave in Kennesaw, GA - July 12, 2009 and is the third from the left. Very cool to see someone doing something they obviously love to do.
Reverend Doug Fromm, of theCommunity Church at Upper Ridgewood, provides a bit of clarity as to what life forces helped to inspire this blog. Here is the excerpt from his February 2009 letter to the congregation:
"Our identity is dependent on having a story that tells who we are.We learn about one another by listening to each others story.We understand life by listening to the story that tells us what the world is like and where it is going.
A story gives a community its identity.To be a community is to have a narrative that is acquired, sustained, and told and retold.It gives a common memory.It gives a common vision.It gives us common rituals and shared symbols and actions.As we live in community our stories become part of the common story and the common story becomes part of our personal stories."
Drop me a line if you have a story you would like to share.
