Memories of First Time Voting
In this election season there has been an enormous surge
in the number of people registering to vote - a reminder
of the vast number of Americans, registered or not, who
are just not voting.
To jog our memories on what voting is really all about,
EPA.net went down the block to the East Palo Alto Senior
Center and spoke with some of the members of Teirrah
McNair's Reading Roundtable group, a weekly gathering
for discussion of shared reading and for telling the
stories and experiences of a long life.
We asked the group to tell us some memories about the

"Stories I Never Told My Father"
By Mikaya Strickling
You know we all have pain and we all have our own way of dealing with it.
Some of us let our pain fester, hoping it will go away by itself only to see it
grow into something that we feel is beyond our control. Others ignore the pain and
never deal with it; then turn off every feeling of every emotion they ever had
to keep from getting hurt.
Lynel Gardner's way was to create a one-man performance called "Stories I Never Told My Father".
