Much of what made my life worth living is gone never to be experienced by my grandchildren. I McNeill miss it for the rest of my life. I turn 80 this summer and doubt many of my pleasures will return. Travel, theater, sports, visits with family, restaurant dinners, attending school events of my grandchildren, freedom to hug friends. A pervasive stress and sadness permeates everything. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
