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.

Phyllis Orth Sparks reply to "Reminisences"


Sam, I enjoyed reading this e-mail and reminiscing about the good old days. We probably didn't think they were so good at the time but as we get older they really were. I remember quite a few of the ones mentioned in this e-mail.My husband and I went to a book signing at the Portsmouth Library today. (Sat.).Dick Burdette had written a revised book on "The Waterloo Wonders". I have his first book on it, I forget the year it was published. They were a tough team. I thought you and Dick Klitch would be there and I had a picture of Dreamland Pool for each of you. It is the same size of the PHS placemat I gave you. Two places that should have never been torn down. They tore down the Greyhound Bus Station last month. Portsmouth has very few landmarks still standing so sad. Take care.Phyllis Orth SparksSam, I am a year older than the last time I saw you, I am "plenty nine" now.. ha ha .

We are getting older, Phyllis, but, not to worry, Jack Plymale still considers that we are youngsters. Everything is relative!

Dick nor I knew of Dick Burdette's latest book signing. Like many, I used to have the Waterloo Wonders book, but can't find my copy. I probably loaned it to a friend. I had suggested to Dick and Jenny Lavender that Dick should have WW reprinted. I am sure a lot of people want copies of the new book.

Sam
