Family and friends,
I received an unbelievable number of birthday greetings from family and friends yesterday when I became 78 years old. Mostly from Facebook. November 13, 1932 was the beginning of my life in Portsmouth Ohio and I am the grateful son of Forest and Mary kegley. I came into the "cultural Center of Our Universe", unrich in worldly goods as so many depression family babies were. But Forest and Mary nourished each of us ten.
Portsmouth was an outstanding place to receive my early nurturing and early friends. Many are still with me and many fine ones have passed on. That, we each learn, is part of this life on earth.
My young girl friend , and granddaughter, Tobey, slightly mentioned to me once that I consider everything to be "profound', and hinted that I am perhaps too serious in that respect. Maybe I am, without the intent to be that way. I am so happy to be her, and each of our grandkids, grandfather.
Anyway, to reflect on the birthday greetings for an old fellow, now, let me tell all that it helps to be remembered on your special days in life.
I thank all who sent me greetings and, even if you didn't, if you even had one good thought of me or my beautiful wife, Jeanie, I want to thank each of you from the bottom of my 78 year old heart.
