This memoir is about moving from place to place 37 times in my lifetime. My dad was a career soldier, but only four moves were military-connected. I attended 14 primary and secondary schools before completing high school. The constant moving resulted in me losing friends, classmates, playmates, and family. My memoir discusses a few experiences as I moved from place to place, why I had so many addresses, and how the moves impacted me. It also discusses how I survived the loss and loneliness. The story is written in poetry and prose and includes many photos. I hope my story will help others who have moved constantly.…mehr

Rachel Louise Cooper-Clay lives in Fredericksburg, Virginia, and was born in Evington, Virginia. She moved 37 times in her lifetime and went to 14 schools before graduating high school. She attended McKinley Technical High School in Washington, D.C., and obtained a BS from the University of Maryland University College (UMUC). She is a member of Spotsylvania Baptist Church, the Fredericksburg Senior Citizens Association, and the Pierians, a group committed to promoting the fine arts. She is also the author of "The Orioles: Second String Albert "Diz" Russell," the story of the vocal group that arguably started rhythm and blues music in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1948. After a 30-year federal government retirement, completion of an MA from Central Michigan University, and a PhD from Capella University in Minneapolis, MN, she taught for almost 14 years at her UMUC alma mater, today the University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC). Dr. Clay has one daughter and a granddaughter. She enjoys writing, music, entertainment, scrabble, and jigsaw puzzles. She wrote her memoir to share a few of her experiences as she moved to 37 addresses and to explore how the many moves affected her. She hopes others will benefit from her story.
