Lakewood Letters

Smitty. The name I gave myself was Anya Smith. Smitty for short. Call me old fashioned, naming myself after the alias of a princes from a small, nameless, nation when she goes galavanting around Rome. Audrey Hepburn played the beautiful, if not adventurous, Princess Anne in Roman Holiday. Accompanied by Gregory Peck's Joe Bradley and Eddie Albert's Irving Radovich, she explores the Eternal City under the name Anya Smith, which Albert's character is quick to shorteb to Smitty. And so it came about that I needed a second alias, a character to write as, per say, and Smitty appeared in my head. And though I'm not one tenth as beautiful as the eternal actress in the Eternal City, I hope to someday live up to the name.
