Roy: An Introduction
My name’s Roy Herndon Smith. I moved in on June 9. A number of you welcomed me
to Ganas with a chain to move my mountain of stuff from the truck to my room on the
second floor of 144. Many thanks. All my life, I’ve treated the places I’ve lived as
temporary residences; I’ve always felt I would move on; and I always have. I’ve been
surprised to find that, since I’ve arrived here, I am feeling a sense or relief to be
settling into a home that I’m not imagining leaving. I am unpacking boxes that I have
not unpacked in well over a decade. I look forward to time for us to get to know each
other.
The best time to catch me is on weekends. During the week, I work in the city and am

not around much. I’m on Facebook; and you can email me at
royherndonsmith@gmail.com.
