| | === A Case Study: My Formative Experience === |
| <table class="timeline"><tr><td class="year">1939 to 1942</td><td class="item"><u>I, and my nanny</u>, Woz, aka Rose, squeezed into my parents' apartment, with its terrace overlooking Gramercy Park, scaled and furnished, loosely Art Deco, for socializing among Depression era, upwardly-mobile professionals, circa 30 to 40. I have no actual memories of life then, and it being all I knew, I seem to have accepted it. But smiley pictures of me dressed to the nines suggest someone learning to excessively please. And perhaps my knack for quietly sousing myself on drinks carelessly set on low tables by standing guests intent in conversation suggested a sophisticated despair in the making. At any rate, by late '42 or so, recognizing the austerities of war and the constraints of out-grown living arrangements, my parents radically changed my lifeworld, and theirs as well. </td><td class="pdf"></td></tr></table>

| <table class="timeline"><tr><td class="year">1943 to 1948</td><td class="item"><u>The Farm, Creamery Road, Solebury, Pa.</u> I don't know how my parents managed it, but suddenly sometime in my third year, the Gramercy Park apartment disappeared from my lifeworld, persisting only in my second-hand memory. Instead, I began living, fulltime, at "the farm," as we called it.<br>about 2 hours from Manhattan, just across the Delaware River, included 65 acres of Bucks County farm land, about half of it fallow or wooded, the other half cultivated in wheat, corn, or soy beans. The main house had been built of field-stone in spurts from the mid 1700's to the mid 1800's. It had a large attic floor beneath a sloping roof. The 2nd floor had 4 bedrooms, 2 small and 2 large with unused fireplaces, and 2 bathrooms. The main floor had a kitchen, a dining room with a large working fireplace, and a large living room with an even bigger fireplace, also working. Adjacent, a small square "spring house" stood, also built of field-stone, about one and a half stories high, with no windows, only a narrow slit for ventilation high up. Through the 19th century, water from a nearby spring had flowed at a steady 50 degrees around a large, flat stone in its center, providing the creamery excellent refrigeration for its products piled there. A large barn working barn stood catty corner 100 feet or so from the main house.<br>I describe the farm at some length because I made my new home a crucial site of my self development for the next 10 years and more., Although I don't have a memory of my emotions about it, I'm sure I heartily approved of the move. They had bought the farm for a song in a deeply depressed market 2 or 3 years before I was born. Making it into an attractive retreat weekends and summers had become their shared avocation, my father the planner and my mother the manager. From my entry, I had been a passive participant in that endeavor. But I am sure that by the move, I had had enough of being the prince of the park, wheeled about by nanny in my carriage, sporting absurd finery and cooing for gushy bystanders! I was ready to turn active, exploring the farm and making it my turf. <br>I certainly was not aware whether or not my parents purposively planned it, but our moving fulltime to the farm created for me extraordinary opportunities for self-development. </td><td class="pdf"></td></tr></table>
