Comments:

Sherry and I moved to Washington State in 2001, when I
retired (disability, from softball injurys, of all things).
We absolutely love it here. This town reminds me a great
deal of Torrance when I was a pre-teen. It has a population
of 28,000, but is expanding to the open area to our east, with a new large shopping area (similar to what Torrance did in the late 50's-early 60's---Del Amo, etc.).
Sherry and I have been married for 53 years now.
I spend most.of my time doing with, and for my 5 grandkids (19, 13, 12, 11, and 9 years old, and one new great grandson born to my granddaughter or year ago, And now another new great grandson born to my my grandson Lucas 3 years ago). I suffered a rt brain stroke in August 2010and another one in 2014. I recovered from a lot of the impairments over the first two months or so. But, I still have a few things wrong still. (dexterity, and hearing being the ones in the forefront. but overall, I'm probably doing a lot better than I deserve.

School Story:

Oh yeah! We can laugh about these things now. Reggie McWhorter explained to me at the 20 year reunion, why he used to pick fights with me for 4 years. When he needed a day or two off from school, he said he'd look up his old punching bag, Ron. Of course, we'd both get suspended, Whereas, we'd head for the beach!
And I love salmon fishing with my grandsons and great grandson!
Some of you already know, or have guessed, but I know heaven, a.k.a. (SantaRon) also apparently an altar ego.! if I could see that I could put a smile on at least one it won’t persons face, I’m happy!

Hi Ron, I couldn't fine your e mail address, so I had to send this message to you this way. Please send me your e mail address, my new one is cindicurtb@gmail.com. I sent you a note in "21 about my daughter Wendy (now 51 yrs) having been diagnosed with "early onset Alzheimers. She passed on Fri. Feb. 10 in PA. She was in a hospice home for a couple of days before she passed. We were able to make it up to see her, we were able to spend an hour with her before she passed. It was really rough. She wanted her ashed spread here in our backyard, so her husband and son will bring them down sometime this spring or summer I guess. It really surprised us to find out what she wanted done with her ashes. I hope you and Sherry are doing well. Curt and I will be celebrating our 53rd anniversary tomorrow, Feb. 20th, but it won't be quite as happy as our other have been of course, but we were glad that we were with Wendy, and she is out of her misery not knowing people etc. Take care, and God bless......Cindi

Happy Birthday Ron! I hope you have a wonderful day! Hope Sherry fixes you your favorite dinner, and that you get to spend time with your daughter and grandson. How is your weather out there? It is warm here, but sunny and not too humid today. It is supposed to be a bit cooler over the next several days. Were you able to go on a vacation this year? We weren't, but hopefully sometime in the next few months, we'll be able to go to Maryland to see our daughter and grandson, she has just recently been diagnosed with "early-onset Alzheimers, and she only just turned 50!, but with the COVID, and the fact that our son isn't living at home anymore, we don't have anyone to care for our dog. She is older and is getting quite arthritic, just like her mommy, and we can't put her in the kennel, she'd die of a broken heart, she's never been boarded before. Well, got to go, Curt has physical therapy for the knee he had replaced in July, Take care, and God bless. Again, happy birthday! Cindi

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RON!!! Hope you had a wonderful day with family and friends! Hope Sherry made you your favorite meal. Hope you are staying healthy and doing well. Didn't you say that you were supposed to be having some kind of surgery recently? If so, I hope that it went well, and that you are doing better than before. Curt had a total knee replacement on right knee on the 14, and came home on the 16th. He is doing pretty well, but of course is still in a fair bit of pain, but is getting better each day. Take care and God bless. Best wishes, Cindi

Happy birthday Ron! Hope you have a wonderful day, and get to spend time with your kids and grandkids. Did you and Sherry have a great trip for your 50th? I sure hope so. The reunion was fun, but best part was getting to spend time with my family in Bakersfield (sister Andi) and Torrance, (brother Norm and his family) and getting to see my newest great niece (6 months then) in CO. We were gone an entire month. Bill Yancey has been by several times on way to see his daughter and family, it's been nice spending time with him and his wife Denise. Hope you and Sherry are both doing well, take care of yourselves, and God bless. Curt and I are doing okay, I just had cataract surgery on both eyes, and am doing better, but still have several weeks to go before everything is the way it should be, then just readers. Cindi
