Debbie Foulkes believes that every life is a story, albeit some a little more interesting than others. She’s tried to beef up her own personal story by living in three foreign countries, teaching students from age five through adult, freelance journalism, acting and travel. This blog is an attempt at preventing her from fading into obscurity too soon and to satisfy a slight case of graphomania. *

I love your life stories! Thanks for digging them up and sharing them.

Thanks, Barbara. I also learned a lot by researching Hopkins.
A fine job of research, Debbie, telling me more than I knew about Stephen Hopkins. Some of the info I’ll add to my brief comments on him in regard to the Jamestown colony. I’m glad to finally join the blog!
Alfred Sandwina was born November 5, 1918 in Budapest, Hungary. Died Alfred Sandor September 22, 1983 in Sidney, Australia. Otherwise, a great article. Thanks.
Always enjoy your blog. After reading them, I wonder why these people have been forgotten.
Debbie,
I must say, you never disappoint. Another excellent snippet out of our wondrous world.
Keep the Characters coming.

Great blog, Debbie.
I look forward to reading more!
Dede: It would be a great way to meet men!
Another great story, maybe that is what I should do….
Debbie—Fine job and professionally presented. Incidentally, Leland Stanford also founded a locally well respected school at Palo Alto.
Hello Debbie,
