My good friend, Jack Plymale, has chosen to live in Costa Rica.
Bert Leach, the genius teacher of Portsmouth High School in the 40's and 50's, has never been more quoted by any other than by Mr. Plymale, the ex-Trojan, who quotes more verse than any other I know of. Mr Leach was often talked about as "the smartest man in Portsmouth" among the Gilmer twins, Eddie Hill, Clark Rapalee, Gus Thompson, Gib Lakeman, Howard Rase, Carl Riley, and others I listened to.
Mr. Plymale has some wisdom much beyond me. I'm searching for a quote I want to use for my newest book. Maybe Jack will read this and help me. Google led me to the link herein just now on Costa Rica, which I have not yet read, but intend to. Somewhere in my reading and memory is an often remembered classic quote regarding 'rivers to cross... mountains to climb... I am still searching, but must leave to watch my nine year old granddaughter play basketball for Upper Arlington's fourth grade team. Prioities, you know.

God, please bless these beautiful countries on earth, ours and Costa Rica, my friends Jack, Jim Fout, & Doc Yeagle, and all Portsmouthites, who know how to get to Mabert Road. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Especially to the urchins! I was once one of those Mound Park Urchins. I find 'urchin' defined in Google as "poor and mischievous city kids". Mabert Road had their share of urchins and so did the Fourteenth Street Community Center. Were we not all blessed?
