We had been great friends in 6th - 9th grade at Florida College Academy and he and his family had recently moved back to the Tampa area and came by the Citrus Park Church of Christ.  I didn’t recognize him, but it had been close to 40 years.  We had said “Hello,” and promised to get together some time to discuss the old days, but it hadn’t happened until a couple days ago, that Barry contacted me and said he had to be at the mall nearby today and wondered if he could drop by.

 

I drove him around on the golf cart and re-introduced him to my parents.  I explained about the amnesia and that much of my childhood was lost to me.  He ran through the names of the kids in our class and told me the latest news he had on all of them. 

 

Hi, I’m Carole Baskin and I’ve been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views.  If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story.  The titles are the dates things happened. If you have any interest in who I really am please start at the beginning of this playlist: http://savethecats.org/

 

I know there will be people who take things out of context and try to use them to validate their own misconception, but you have access to the whole story.  My hope is that others will recognize themselves in my words and have the strength to do what is right for themselves and our shared planet.
