George - I not only remember the x-ray machine but the Golden Goose!! Now that really dates us! My mother would time our trips back to the Delta so that we could all get shoes at J & B. I am an Air Force Brat (and wear that badge proudly) but my mother believed the only way we were fitted correctly was at J & B so trips were timed to coincide with shoe purchases.
Joe Clara - hopefully you still read the blog. Your mother was one of my favorite teachers. I remember being petrified of quoting Chaucer in front of the class. My speech impediment was bad enough but to have to quote Old English in front of the class really threw me for a loop. Evidently, she picked up on it and skipped my name as she was calling students to the front. After class she told me that she accidently overlooked me so that I would have to come back during study hall. This so happened to be her free period and she allowed me to do it just with her in the classroom. Afterwards she sat me down and informed me that I would not be able to go thru life without ever speaking in public and that "I need to get over it - this was the way life was and to accept it". That was probably the best advice I have ever been given - still don't like to but with my job it comes with the territory and I always remember that statement when the butterflies hit.
Billy - I well remember your mother and she was a great lady and nurse. I am so sorry for your loss.
Lynn - beautiful baby. Congradulations to your daughter and hubby!
