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.

Jack asks about Bill Klitch- Dick's older brother

Yes Jack, Bill was Dick's older brother. Bill was a heckuva tennis player, but you oval-balled guys never played with the round balls much. Bill lived in Dayton but has passed on now.




You would like Dick Klitch a lot! Dick was the youngest of six Klitch kids to Ida and Herman on Grandview Ave. , just across the alley from the tennis courts in Mound Park and south of the Park Shoppe.  Dick is Portsmouth's only State Champion in tennis and he championed in the MAC at Miami and played basketball there to bring four straitght round ball Championships to the school along with Coach Bill Rohr. Dick is in Miami's Hall of Fame for both sports. He just becamer 77, my age, in August. Dick got a lot of athletic training from his great dad, who taught mainly baseball to all of us urchins in the park, at Highland basketball outside basketball, and at the fire station at Grant and Franklin. As a young park urchin, Dick became the fire station's ping pong champion much to their chagrin. That led to his great tennis play. A lot of us fellow park urchins watched as Dick signed his star on the floodwall. He and another swabby won the all service doubles championship. He recently gave a tennis lesson to my granddaughter, Tobey, whom my wife and I definitely follow in her softball pitching. It was the finest athletic training in one hour I have ever witnessed.



We love the Tob to pieces.

Sam, I never had the good fortune to know Dick Klitch. Knew Bill Klitch. Not real athletic, but a heck of a nice guy. Check to see if there is a relationship.
