Wendi sent me an email and here is part of it "I’ve never met Bruce Springsteen, but I owe him a huge debt of gratitude. His music has been my constant companion since high school, helping me celebrate good times and make it through hard times. From the time when I danced exuberantly to “Dancing in the Dark” with my then two-year-old sister when she entered my room and begged me to “dance Booce Tin-tin” in the early 1980’s to the time I cried as I listened to “I’ll See You in My Dreams” while driving home from my dad’s funeral a few months ago, Bruce has always been there." She and I had a wonderful discussion, including Wendi and her husband's decision to move to Hawaii, her love of Bruce's music and in a more serious tone, a discussion of the current culture among some in the church. https://bio.link/wendigordon  Learn more about your ad choices.
