We seem to all be suffering a common problem these days, WHERE DID OUR LIVES GO? Our brains seem to still be 18, but our bodies are talking a different language. Sarah Orne Jewett puts it much more eloquently than do I:

“Neither of my companions was troubled by her burden of years. I hoped in my heart that I might be like them as I lived on into age, and then smiled to think that I too was no longer very young. So we always keep the same hearts, though our outer framework fails and shows the touch of time.”

VETERANS DAY 2021 - THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SERVICE, BUT ESPECIALLY TO JERRY RAWLINGS WHO GAVE HIS ALL

 If you search this blog using the word Rawlings, you will see other posts I have made about our late classmate Jerome/Jerry Rawlings.  I am very proud to be a part of today's (11/11/21) article in the Kirkwood Webster Times (yes I know I have the title backwards, but I ALWAYS do, it's a thing...) in honor of all veterans of course, but especially Jerry.  He was a kind soul, often maligned by our contemporaries, because of what he wasn't, but in his military life, not long after KHS graduation, he became admired for what he was then, and now he is revered for what he didn't get to be and what he did before he left us way too soon.  Please go here to read the article:
