"In every age... there have been those who struggled for a different world. I believe this is the genius of humankind, the thing that makes us half divine: the fact that some human beings can envision a world that has never existed." Anne Braden

Janet Howe @jehwriterMy daughter was in school with Isaiah Robinson who played the little lost boy who recognizes Robin Williams as Peter in the Hook movie. I gave the kids rides several times. Julia Roberts was also in Hook and was in Flatliners (1990) with Kevin Bacon. So I guess this gives me a Bacon # of 2. Or 3?11:04 PM - Sep 22, 2023
