Does anybody know where Wendy Sanderson might be. The address that I have for her is not valid.
Someone was looking for her and asked if I knew of her whereabouts. So far I am not able to help this other girl person.
In High School was kinda close and she was wondering if anybody knows now where she is?

Thanks for the explanation, Patti, Don't know how I missed it. It must have been in our paper somewhere. I don't always get past the first page! If that had happened in L.A., it wouldn't have been such a surprise.

Anyone doing anything for Mothers' Day? We're going to a barbeque at Avi's sister's house. It's also a birthday party for 2 members of the family. Have a good weekend.

Have a nice weekend and that's all folks!

Interesting.

I was searching for a picture of the pyramid with the eyeball that is on the back of the one dollar bill. Turns out it came into existance under FDR's watch, I ended up at a website about him, and the rest is history.

Wow

Some truths are forever, aren't they. May I ask Richard, how you came to reading FDR's 1933 inaugural address?

That is a really sad story. It seems like we have gone from heros, to anti-heros, to a wide-spread malaise that scatters like a blob of mercury when you try to grab ahold of it. I was reading FDR's 1933 inaugural address a couple of days ago- you know "all we have to fear, is fear itself . . . nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance". Much of what he said really rings true today and particularly in a strange situation like the arsenic poisoning in New Sweden.

FDR went on to say, "We must frankly recognize the overbalance of population in our industrial centers and, by engaging on a national scale in the redistribution, endeavor to provide a better use of the land for those best fitted for the land.

The task can be helped by definite efforts to raise the values of agricultural products and with this the power to purchase the output of our cities.

It can be helped by preventing realistically the tragedy of the growing loss, through foreclosure, of our small homes and our farms.

It can be helped by insistence that the Federal, State and local governments act forthwith on the demand that their cost be drastically reduced."

What a long strange trip it has been and will continue to be, I guess.

During after worship service coffee 2 Sundays ago, 16 people were taken ill after drinking the coffee. One gentleman died. 15 others were treated in hospitals; several are still there though they have been upgraded from critical. (just 2 days ago) Arsenic poisoning impacts the brain function so even though these people may live they will undoubtedly have impaired function. ( Or so Im told) No way to know yet. FBI profilers are coming up here for a couple of days to look into the life and death of a man (member of the church) who killed himself a few days later. The note he left indicates there may be others than himself involved in the poisonings.

Hey guys, we get great news here evidentally. I heard about the arsenic down here, forgot which station. ATL is a very diverse place and quite happenin , sometimes too much so. Finally quiet tonight. Yesterdays storms had lightening strikes exceeding 800 per hour!! Fivwe cells moved through one right after the other. Winds exceeding 70mph at times, ripped a local flag off its pole (one of those mega huge ones) 100 feet in the air. I manages ok down here in my little hollow, just a deluge of water but it kept on going down the hill.

Roland thanks for the address. I have entered in the mailing list. Lori I didn't hear about the Arsenic either so no your not the only one. lol......

What exactly happened? Arsenic in the coffee? I missed it somehow. (Am I always the only one who needs an explanation?!)

Hi everyone, I haven't been here in a while. Yeah, New Sweden is basically 40 minutes north of here. It's really such a terrible tragedy and locally, we don't know what or exactly who or why. The national news is amazingly "informed" and are talking about things locally you won't see on the news. This is a very quiet and personal town and everyone, memebers of Gustaf Adolfson or not the townspeople are all folks who grew up together and brought their families back to bring up the kids in a beautiful and safe area. I can't count the number of times I heard people tell me this is the best place in the world to raise a family. The young men and women who move into the greater world to get away from small time New England seem to come back in droves when they want to settle down and live their lives with family and friends. The impact of this will affect people for generations to come.

Patti, thanks for the post. Went back a few more and read your responce. Don't worry about rambling as you all know I do but then thats me. I enjoy all news and take it for whats its worth. Posted my address for ya'll who want to write or include it on the class list. Thanks!

John, Sorry haven't been on the net lately. Been darting golfball hail, tornadoes, and severe lightening storms. Getting used to it I guess. Was on my cell today and the sirens sounded and scared the hell out of the person in CA I was talking with. The ceiling started to collapse due to heavy rain....... yes, I have a pob and it is pob 2294 Loganville, Ga. 30052. Thankyou. I really would try and get back to the 30th. I don't count on anything big anymore as far as dates because anytime I have tried or planned something has come up and I had to cancel. Well. I know......positive thinking, positive thinking........ Glad to see you back in Blogger.

What is up with the coffee at the church in New Sweden? I read that there was arsenic in the pot. Who worked hard in their yard this weekend? I am so glad that I am back at work where I can get some rest.

Thanks, Karen. What else did I miss out on?!
