On February 16, 1910 my grandmother celebrated her 10th birthday. In 2010 my granddaughter will celebrate her 5th birthday. I am link between these two lives. I hope my granddaughter will read these entries and feel this connection. It may be the similarity of mundane gadgets like the bobby pin, popularized by the bobbed haircut in the 1920’s and the no slip barrette worn by today’s toddlers. Or the connection may be more profound as my granddaughter cracks the glass ceiling so impenetrable in 1920 that my grandmother chose to leave her operatic voice silently on the stage if she wished to marry.
