I am hoping that my story that was published in the September/October 2023 issue of GOOD OLD DAYS-That Remembers the Best, (magazine cover, below) inspires future generations of children and adults, the joys in being kind to others and celebrating and remembering childhood fun. My story is titled, “Beginning of the School Year Starts It All.” It is about the excitement in getting ready for school pictures and the fun, heartwarming days of Trick-or-Treating for Halloween.
