Brantford was the fixed point of my universe, growing up. Both sets of grandparents lived there, with various cousins and uncles and aunts, and no matter how far we’d moved off, we came back there for regular visits. In a way no other houses have ever been, my grandparents’ houses were ‘home,’ and the sale of the last of those houses was hard. – Susanna Kearsley
My dad traveled a lot, so I only usually saw him on weekends, growing up. His favorite actors in the world were Clint Eastwood and Burt Reynolds. If Clint or Burt had a movie out, we would go to the movies. He didn’t like movies, generally, unless Clint or Burt were in them. – William Earl Brown
Almost all of us growing up have played baseball on some level. It has an inside track with people. It has a unifying effect. – Vin Scully
