In 1954 my wife and I visited my cousin in Toledo, Ohio.
Phillip took us on a boat ride in Lake Erie in his boat.I spent some time with the gymnastics team.
The team gave me a letter to put on my letter sweater. A letter sweater was a prized possession for me at that time. I have lost it over the years, and wish that I had it back. The sweater was white, and the letter was maroon.

My pressure was high, and I had sharp pains in my head. I went to the doctor, and she sent me to an ophthalmologist. My daughter, Vicki Callender took me to doctors, when I lived in Pittsburgh, Pa. The ophthalmologist sent me to the Allegheny General Hospital Ophthalmology Department in Pittsburgh, Pa. One eye went blind. I was treated, and part of the treatment was putting drops in my eyes. My cataracts were removed. I was treated about five years at Allegheny General. Then we moved to Arizona, and I have been treated about five years in Arizona. Eye drops and inspections of the eyes every few months is the treatment. One of the eyedrops is Lumigan. A thimble full of Lumigan is about $1000. A small bottle of Lumigan is $600, and it is about one half a thimble full. I just went to the doctor. The last appointment was six months ago. I’m scheduled to go to the doctor four months from now.
My feline companion
We came back to Arizona in 2018. There were two cats living here. when we arrived. Roxie, a Siamese cat, was one of the cats. She slept in a cooking pot in the kitchen cabinets. She was attracted to me, and started sleeping between my feet in bed. She started staying in my bedroom most of the time.
Cats are unsanitary, and although I didn’t want to be exposed, I tolerated her.
She cuddles next to me, she bites me, she lashes out with her front paws. and taps me on the shoulders when she wants attention. She licks my hand, when I touch her front paw. Her ears and her back feet are cold. She likes her cold back feet held, when she cuddles. She makes eye contact, but it is limited. She makes vocal sounds, when she is happy. When I make the bed, she follows me around the bed, making vocal sounds. She gets the urge to bite then.
I go to bed around 10 pm. Roxie knows when it is 10 pm. She leaves my room to go to take care of her needs around 10 pm. We have a “scratcher” in my room, which both cats use. She avoids the other cat, and likes my protection, when he comes into my room. She gets out of the way, when my wife puts drops in my eyes.
If I put my hands underneath the sheets, she will attack any motion under the sheets.
When I eat in the kitchen, she stops by and makes her presence known.
When I go to the bathroom, she knows where I’m at, and comes in quite often.
She isn’t afraid to show the other cat that she will stand up to him. She spends time in the window sill in the daytime. She warms up in the window sill.
A plumber came to the house. Roxie got under the covers on my bed. I'm, pretty sure she was being cautious, because there was a stranger in the house.

I attended a one room school in Ayersville, Ohio in 1936. The new school opened in 1937. A female teacher taught 6 grades. I was in the first grade. There were two general stores near the school. One morning I saw a dead man frozen in water in the ditch.
There was another one room school about one half mile from our house. I went to a community event there. I was less than 6 years old. One of our neighbors was in a play in which he ate a whole pie, or pretended to. I was convinced that the neighbor was evil, if he could do that. I made sure to avoid any contact with him.
Andy Wolfrum purchased the coal storage building at the school; later on. He added it as a kitchen to his house.
All boys were required to be in the ROTC. Reserve Officer Training Corps. There were four companies. I was Captain of company D in my senior year.
We had Swords as part of our dress uniforms.
When I was in the US Army, I could have gone to officer training, but I would have had to stay additional time.
I went to the square dance club, and learned how to square dance. My wife and I went to square dances later on.
