To Our Readers

Russ Gerber

Nothing Brings Closet-Cleaning to a halt faster than running across a collection of old pictures. That's what happened to me recently after I uncovered an album of photographs taken during my time in army basic training. There, tucked into the corner of one of the pages, was a picture of a guy in army fatigues, sprawled out on the ground, his hat too big for his head, his rifle propped up, as he tries to look serious during target practice. Oh, please.

Yes, it was a photo of me; it's one I would like to see disappear. And thanks to that marvelous invention called the wastebasket, the problem was easily solved.

If only it were that easy when it comes to the more serious and troubling experiences in our lives, those unfortunate times and events that we yearn to forget once and for all. That was the desire of the author of our Cover Story. She wanted with all her heart to feel at peace about an unfortunate period in her past. The good news is, she found her answer and shares what she learned with Sentinel readers in "Want to revise your past?"
