After high school, he joined the Marine Corps, which is where he is now. When he and I were

I remember when our children were small, and Marlys and I would set them in a high chair and feed them. OK, Marlys more than me.

SAVING THEIR ASSETS
I’m amazed when I read about these people that were swindled by that investor banker, Bernard Maddoff. Famous celebrities, head of sates, high ranking officials, charities, universities,… invested their money and overnight their lifetime savings gone, vanished in a Ponzi scam.

Poet Roxie Lusk Smith wrote:
