Memories

Well, not much going on here, I had a Heart Monitor on after the ole ticker started missing a few beats and Anna Mae was in the Hospital with this Bug going around, had to call 911 at 3am after she passed out in bathroom, severe dehydration.  Anna Mae spent a few days in hospital and I had a Nuclear Stress Test on the heart.   We are a good match for each other.  We are still around and kicking!!!

The rug rat in the above picture in the circle is me, I went to the Pond Settlement Public School, this group is grades 1 thru 6.  I remember going outside to the "Out-House" in the winter and going thru several feet of snow, doing your business as quick as possible and making a b line back into the one room school house to stand near the bug round oak wood stove in the center of the school room.
.
I can still name just about everyone in the picture.

The above picture I found is me as a senior in high school, the dog is "Laddie", a nice collie.  Good dog but got shot by neighbor for chasing deer during hunting season.

The above picture is of me and one of my Grade school friends Mike, I was in the hospital up here in New York and Mikey lives in Georgia, I was in real bad shape, Mike came up to see me as he thought I might not make it, he stayed with me till after surgery and he knew I was gonna be OK,  we have called each other for years, always only a phone call away, not much either one of us would not do for the other,  well, Mike has the big "C" !!!   Mike has Cancer and a short time left............Mike is only 66, his birthday is April 15 but he does not think he will make it!!!!
we went thru school togeather, graduated, mike went in Air Force, spent most of his time as a Radio Repairman in Bilouxi, Miss. then worked and retired from the Telephone company several years ago. I went Navy, we kept close for over 55 years, Man says no Chemo, no radiation as cancer is too far along!!!    So, So Sad!!!
