The following, a little nostalgia, a mass mailing from my uncle who is 80,
and lives in Reno. He was six years younger than my father, who died 13 years ago.
Recounting events I had never heard before?
Read on~
I believe that I can now safely say HAPPY NEW YEAR, as it is 12:35 local
time.
Watched the fireworks from the roofs of the downtown casinos which
lasted 23 minutes. Very nice...more impressive was Gods display of snow
falling upon the crowd...NOW that is impressive, and wondrous, that is
until it comes time to be shoveled..We currently have 16" in our yard and
will improve upon that by morning.
Looking at the numbers 2005, can't help but to make me think back over the years
that have gone bye.
Speaking of Christmas, I will relate a story that happened to myself and family of
the time...My bother Leonard had bought a huge 6,000 lb. La Salle sedan made
by Cadillac, vintage 1931..WE, the family were on the way to midnight mass
on the outskirts of Minneapolis, and it was snowing a blizzard.
After a while, Len thought we were lost, but then we went through a couple of gates
and figured it was the church...Close but not quite, it was a
cemetery...And in trying to make a U turn one of the wheels went off the
road...Pitch black, snowing, slippery roads, but he and us made it and ended
up at the church in time for Mass... can't help but think of that, virtually
every year.
Enough...My and Jerri's very best wishes for the coming (here)
year...May all your thoughts be happy...Love to all... Dick and Jerri
