    I writ [sic] to Judy and received no reply.  Does that mean the old boy has succumbed to cancer or what ever?  The letter was not returned so I assume Judy received same.
    Wish I could get to the Conference, but I guess I better stay to home and send them my good wishes.  Spring has sprung and us (my son and I) planted some rose bushes and sowed some seeds - I note some of the seeds are coming up - *gladiolae and morning glories - we await the others - sunflowers, etc. - as my son says - we must of done something right.  Hope the sunflowers come up - they are the MOST of plantings - plus, the birds like them.  written in left margin:  *The gladiolas were a gift from a mail order company.
   Have to go to Clinic for Annual check-up - this week -- hope the check-up is good -- quite a hassle to get there -- change of buses and so forth.  Gad, what a life us senior citizens lead.  Or don't you care?  Old Grandad will see us thru.
