 the old jail  

circa  1889

487 S.W.  Pinckney St.

Madison,  Florida 

...

during my childhood  (50's and 60's )

old jail was transformed into 

Madison's Public Library.

( currently the building is used for Salvation Army )

...

parking my bike  to the 

right of the jail next to a fig tree

 my first experience with hives 

( who knew I was allergic to figs.. )

...

the librarian saw me almost every day

and in time allowed me to read books

in the upper levels.

...

Thanks to my mom and sisters I began reading 

pre-first grade and haven't stopped.

learning to read so early had such an impact on my life.
