Normally on Friday evenings I write about popular culture, but no tonight. I am very wistful for several reasons, on of which is that if she had lived, my mum would have turned 90 years old today.
Born to a dirt poor couple when her mum was only 18 years old (my grandmum and granddad married when my grandmum was only 16 years old), Geraldine Sandlin entered this vale of tears on 19211202. It was cold, and in accordance with the custom of the time, she was born at home with relatives taking the place of physicians.
