Notes

         Up at seven, papers, breakfast while reading the Sunday paper, always a treat. Carol is prepping for trip to your sister’s and welcoming party for Owen.         

       Uncle Ernie had lots of questions on the chapters and he said he has never seen anyone with a mind like yours, that you have tremendous insight and wisdom in your words. He told you this in front of others. You fluffed it off but feel very good that he enjoys the books as much as he does.

         I think it is Uncle Ernie who is seeing the wisdom and insight from his own perspective of having lived a long rewarding life, but I appreciate his kind words and his continued sincere enthusiasm for the works. From now on I will use only the male voice as he said Aunt Patsy has trouble hearing the frequency of the woman’s voice. He believes the Dead are connected to the Living from maybe not too far away, and he remembers reading a book on Greek Mythology while at Otterbein. He asked which book it might have been, and I mentioned Bulfinch’s as Hamilton came along in the fifties. Google says Bulfinch’s work was published in 1913, I told him 1905.

         Make two CD copies, one for them and another for Cathy, Kim and yourself. And, you were thinking of remaking them a CD of the first three chapters with only the male voice. Why not? They are two of your most loyal fans.

         They are. I have more intellectual and artistic encouragement from both of them over all these years than any other in the family. I remember them both since I was three, four and five in particular. Aunt Patsy says she was twenty-one when we played games at my Grandparents’ Orndorff at 103 West Walnut Street. They lived about four houses east on Walnut so they were very close. This is when my parents lived at the corner of Knox and Walnut Streets two blocks to the north. That is a long time to have a direct influence on someone’s life. I am honored to remake the CD for them. It should not be too difficult. If I do it this week I can give the three CD's to them this next weekend or shortly thereafter.

         Why not give them all four together in a packet that will hold twelve or twenty-four CD’s?

         That is a good idea, Amorella. I had not thought of that. I don’t think I’m going to get much done tonight.

      Tomorrow then. Post and be done with it. – Amorella.
