My St. Jude turns 13 today

[Rich]

I havn't been around much for quite a long time.
Just a whole lot going on especially with our current economy.
I am a GM salaried retiree which pretty much explains most of it.
But today is my 13th anniversary of my AVR and I wanted to share my good fortune with all.
I turned 71 earlier this month and am still going strong.
And tommorw we will celebrate our 49th wedding anniversary.
So it has been quite a month for me.
I hope everyone is doing well, I have missed a lot but still care for the friends I have made here over the years.
Rich

71? You'll shoot your eye out kid.

Congratulations on your 13th even though the rest of the state of things stink.

Rich,

Good to hear from you, and many happy returns of the "birthday" and your anniversary. Although many things in the economy and in the world truly stink, I would still say that you are truly blessed. Enjoy life, no matter how it treats you!

 

[hensylee]

wishing you more birthdays and happy anniversary of 49 YEARS! wow, bless you both.

 

[Rich]

Once again thank you all for your good wishes.
We certainly have had some major issues to deal with for some time, but we are simply trying to enjoy whatever life we have left.
Rich
