What story would you tell as a contestant on Jeopardy?

Then the government took us on a very controlled 'tour' of Havana, showing us factories, stores, etc that touted their 'progress'. We weren't allowed to open the windows while in transit; it was stifling. We overnighted (under armed guard) at the hotel and returned to Atlanta in the morning.

Oh, for sure you wouldn't be allowed to tell that story NOW, when restrictions are lifting!!

They don't???

I'd tell the story of how, during a visit to Benson's Wild Animal Farm with my parents back in '57, I was standing in front of the Bison cage and one of them charged the fence, it broke and I went in between the horns and went sailing through the air. I was 4 years old.

Mom and Dad never even considered suing Benson's. Imagine what some would do in today's world!!

about how I was once in a winn Dixie grocery store doing my shopping and the girl came over the intercom and yelled everyone remain calm we are being robbed . I headed for the back of the store and hid behind some boxes in the store room . One of the employees was back there too crying and shaking and I must say I was not much better .

I have had my life saved by CPR, and I have saved someone else's life by administering CPR (and no, I'm not a nurse or first responder). I consider myself the "poster child" for CPR lessons.

Do you know if the holdup guy was ever caught?

I hope no one was harmed. That girl could have caused a shooting putting innocent people at risk
