In 8th grade Denise begged her parents to let her change her name, but they refused. (She was named, after all, for a beloved aunt who died before she was born.) Denise spent much of 8th grade preparing for her transition to high school, when she believed she could have a fresh start.
She poured over baby books, soaking up the names and balancing each in turn on her tongue. Eventually she decided on a name from the family Bible.
Jezebel still lives and works in Madison, WI.

Thank you for this. I'm already looking forward to more. I might even send you some scans of yearbooks that I have.
Yea! First comment!
I'm working on a few for the coming days... no promises this will last long, but I'm really interested in character work and this is fun for me.
I have no idea when or why I signed up for PLAXO (as opposed to say, Facebook or LinkedIn which I do know why I joined. So, I'm finding these videos and blogs to be serendipitous and entertaining. Keep going!
Thanks Pegasus! :D
