by Lauren Aczon ’08

Aczon’s essay, “Calling Clotilde,” is included in this anthology of 29 essays from grandparents and grandchildren. The essay is featured in the section titled “Grandchildren Remember,” and in it Aczon describes the long-distance phone calls between CC and San Francisco, where her Filipino grandmother lived. Aczon developed this essay from a piece she had written as a student blogger at CC, in which she wrote about her grandmother’s death in March 2006. (Read it at: http://2cc.co/aczonpost)
