Dear Al:

Yes, I think that there is a chapter, a very significant chapter in your past that you haven’t closed, or resolved, so you keep re-living it every time you settle into a new small town.

“was that small town I grew up in a sort of trauma?”- yes, I think so, a sort of trauma.

Will you tell me about your own, personal small town experience of childhood, about that “feeling and fear of being misunderstood and out of place”?

(I will soon be away from the computer for about 12 hours).
