Happy Birthday Jo
Her birthday was August 2, 1923. She would have been 96 on Friday if still with us. She died in 1988, age 65, way too early. David, her husband for a few decades, was born August 10, 1925. He’ll be 94 in a few days assuming he’s with us a little longer. Here’s a picture of Jo the flight attendant. I have the approximate year somewhere but will have to add that later. It was before she and Dave married in 1947. She went to work as an engineer at Curtis Wright in 1943 designing planes. Wow, would’ve been only 20 at the time. What an incredible woman.
Winter 2019
When we got back from Christmas in California the weather here in Kansas was essentially the same as there, temperature in the 50’s. It seemed like winter had bypassed us and sent us straight to spring. One morning last week when I went out for the morning paper the birds were singing merrily and it sounded, felt and even smelled like spring. Last night winter returned with snow and today we were blanketed in the stuff, although the temperature was a balmy 32. It wasn’t going to be warm enough to melt the stuff away, so I had to shovel the driveway. So I reckon we’re having winter, after all. TV news said we got 6 inches, but it was barely 2 inches on our driveway. I think the warmish temperature caused it to sort of melt and condense from 6″ to 2″, as it was very very heavy snow, almost slush.

John
I think it’s worth mentioning that John and Becky, who were married August 7, 1971, will mark 48 years of marriage to each other tomorrow. During that time they brought up Stephen and Kimberly, a couple of incredible individuals. Besides producing and raising their children, John and Becky have, um, well, done little else of note, other than remaining married this long which, in itself, is noteworthy and commendable. Good job!
