We can be what we read

When talent is vision into our heart and soul we are blessed. Thank you for keeping us in believing. Is this irony that Rock Hudson, the MAGA OF American fantasy must face the reality of James Dean in dimensions? Edna we are profoundly grateful for your courage.
I am encourage to know the history of Edn. I recommend her story to my granddaughters. I am in debt to Ms Gilbert for her courage to speak up for a woman of giant strength. It may be that the Edna’s history of our America will be banned. However I pray they miss Ms Gilbert’s truth in action.
