For Christian American readers of this blog:


I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!


A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

Wildcat and Middletown Middie- Shelby Linville- dies

These e-mails are by Jack Plymale, a 1944 Portsmouth Trojan football lineman under Coach Paul Walker, and myself, regarding shelby Linville's passing at 78.

*Sam, poosibly, even a greater thrill than watching great athletes is to
revel in the memory of that greatness and to marvel at the talent of their
tutors who could call on them for excellence and get it almost every time
and do it repetitively over long periods. The old Col at UK was a classic
example. I can stil remember a radio interview in which they had he and
several of his players in the late middle forties. He was talking about, and
to ,Wah-Wah Jones. The slow and rolling way he said WAWWAW and the affection
that was implied kinda rings through the years. I think Wah-Wah was an end
and made all american for Bear Bryant too. I think he pitched baseball
also . Paul Walker had a marvelous sense of humor and got almost exactly
what he wanted all the time with very little rancor or personal degradation.
He was a very demanding task master, but made these demands in a way that
implied(without saying it) they are for you, not me. We half way kidded him
for years that he got Jerry Lucas's dad a job at Armco so he would move
from Kyto middletown. Sorry to hear about Shelby Linville. What"s the old
bromide (One of Gib Lakeman's favorites): "all the great men are dying and I don"t
feel so good myself." I feel great!*
