P.S. My father was a Seventh Day Adventist minister. Mother died the day after their 60th anniversary. A year later at age 881/2 Daddy re-married a lovely 65 year old. He lived to be 97 and spent those latter years calling on the sick and the "old people," bringing a lot of joy to them because he remained young at heart. I like to share this experience because it is a cheerful one - it gives me a certain hope, and others, too.

Dear Jack Conroy -

Thank you for your letter to Erskine for the birthday book. He is going to be so very glad to hear from you that I wish I could give it to him right away - but December is coming fast and he can enjoy it then. Since we understand that

OVER please
