Back in Sac. Summer Begins.
The Stern Interview. Family Time at Cafe Delicias
Even though it was near 2 a.m. when I went to bed I was still up at 7:30 raring in go. Christine had made an appointment for us to pick our glasses frames at ten and we got that taken care of relatively easily although it did cost nearly $500.
I got a call about Laura from a reporter from The Washington Post who had contacted me earlier. He only asked a couple of quick questions and that was it.
At 11 I went down to school to meet Giuseppe di Grazia from the German news magazine Stern. He had contacted me via Facebook about interviewing me and he actually agreed to drive up from San Francisco. What an interesting experience that turned out to be. He was born in Sicily but he moved to Germany with his parents when he was quite young. He is a reporter in the US for Stern Magazine living in NYC. Interestingly the magazine is published in Hamburg. He brought a photographer and her husband with him and for nearly two hours he interviewed me about Laura and they took well over 500 photos. It was very interesting the time and care he put intot he interview. In the end it was kind of uncomfortable especially with all the photos. I had to keep pleading with them to remember that it was n't about me. Again it was interesting to see how a professional journalist works. I also brought two disks of the vigil that Robert and I asked them to credit him if they used any of them.
After that I went to the credit union to deposit my yearbook stipend so I can use it for all my summer and workshop expenses. I really want to be aware of where all that money goes. I also went to The Bookworm and bought Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee as I want to learn more about the American Indians in South Dakota and the midwest.
After Zoe got off work and Kate packed, we all, including Robert, drove up to Auburn and had lunch at Cafe Delicias. It turned out to be a great family time that have become too far and between.
We had to stop by the Bookworm on the way home when I realized I had left my cell phone there. Then at 5:30 we drove kate out too the airpoirt so she could catch her 7 p.m. flight home.
