The T-Boy Society of Film & Music’s final poll for 2020 is dedicated to PILGRIMAGES: Sacred Destinations. You’ll find members’ selections to be deeply personal, reflective and educational; experiences that helped shape their lives. I know I did. Clockwise from Top Left: Oberammergau, a Bavarian village which experienced two major pandemics.

Photograph by Deb RoskampAfter years of long winter months with nonstop rain and a sun which refused to shine, I packed up my car in Seattle and followed the sun to the warmth of San Diego. I was not disappointed; the city was blessed with 12 months of sunshine with an average temperature between 55 to 75 degrees. Plus, it is now a model for urban renewal where having a car isn’t even necessary. Never-the-less, I would think of my family living in my ancestral homeland of Washington State often.

I am the product of a Dutch (immigrant) mother and I grew up on a farm. My childhood diet consisted of mostly boiled, sometimes baked, and on rare occasion, fried foods, all grown on the farm. In my mother’s armamentarium of, shall we say, flavor enhancers, were ground salt, finely grated black pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, (powdered) ginger, cloves, vanilla flavoring and cream of tartar. In the refrigerator were — the cheapest brands of — margarine, mayonnaise, ketchup and worcestershire sauce.
