Introduce Yourself: Georgia Mercer
|
|
|
|
Hi, my name is Georgia Mercer. I was born in a suburb of Albany, New York to a Jewish mother and a Lutheran father. It was a small town with one Catholic church and one Congregational church. My three brothers and I were baptized Lutheran and attended the Congregational church almost every Sunday. Much later at Roanoke College in Virginia, I met my Jewish husband, David.
