Our lead story this edition is a moving account by Judy Wilson, a mother of two interesting children. Earlier we ran a piece about one of them (please go to the True North Perspective archives and Google Judy Wilson). Today Judy writes about her teenage son who has Dissociative Identity Disorder better known by its former name, Multiple Personality Disorder. Judy’s children are lucky to have a mother like her. Judy writes of her dilemma with the power that comes with understatement. The problem and the profound empathy with which she deals with her children is must read for all who would expand their knowledge and understanding of the human condition.
Because of logistic problems, missing from this issue are Random Acts of Poetry and The Book End, otherwise you’ll find information that will entertain, inform, and outrage.
Next Friday, July 18 we’ll take time to reminisce in photographs about the recent past and as far back as 1922 when Beach Police were assigned to measure the hem of women’s bathing suits to make sure that the hem was no higher than six inches above the knee, Never mind Baby, we’ve all come a long way.
Don’t complain about the heat. Store it up for winter. Even now I sense the Wolf Wind stirring in his Arctic lair.
Meanwhile take it easy, but take it.
Looking forward.
