Here's Mine: we all have a story

By Donald Fairburn

This is the story of a boy who was born and raised in a tenement building during the Great Depression of the 1930's. His life began and was shaped in the poverty filled streets of Cambridge, Massachusetts; streets that lay exactly halfway between Harvard and MIT. His immigrant father, and his mother from a small mining town in the mountains of Colorado, had come here to give their children a chance at the impossible. Maybe here, their children could have a chance for an education, the one thing that could never be taken from them. As a child, he learned to dream big dreams. He learned by watching the veterans of World War I as they drank beer and sang the tavern songs that helped them to forget all the things they couldn't change. So to avoid the heartache of disappointment, he chose to dream things that were impossible; to sail away from Boston on a fair wind, to see the sunrise in Tibet, and to live a life under the constant warmth of sunshine on an ocean island. He thought dreams had to be things that could never happen. But they all came true. This is his story, of dreams come true.
