Bruce Thomas Metallurgical Engineer
Bruce Thomas was an outstanding Metallurgical Engineer for the Timken Company. He gave up the industrial life to become a house painter and I am sure that he did that very well. He was also an astute investor and he befriended my oldest son, Jay, Columbus librarian then at Hilliard, and passed on some $ wisdom to him. He also gave me a fine set of about fifty or so metallographic samples which are still used in the Metallurgy Laboratory at Defense Supply Center Columbus. Bruce and I also shared adjunct kinship at Columbus State Community College. I didn't know the family well, but we just should not forget God's great people like Metallurgist Bruce Thomas.

Oh to be six again ... Thanks Terry Krause!
Subject: Oh! To Be Six Again
Oh, to Be 6 Again! A man was sitting on the edge of the bed,
watching his wife, who was looking at herself in the mirror. Since
her birthday was not far off he asked what she'd like to have for her
birthday. 'I'd like to be six again', she replied, still looking in
the mirror. On the morning of her Birthday, he arose early, made her
a nice big bowl of Lucky Charms, and then took her to Six Flags theme
park. What a day! He put her on every ride in the park; the Death
Slide, the Wall of Fear, the Screaming Roller Coaster, everything
there was. Five hours later they staggered out of the theme park. Her
head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down. He then took her to
a McDonald's where he ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a
chocolate shake. Then it was off to a movie, popcorn, a soda pop, and
her
favorite candy, M&M's. What a fabulous adventure! Finally she
wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed exhausted. He
leaned over his wife with a big smile and lovingly asked, 'Well Dear,
what was it like being six again?' Her eyes slowly opened and her
expression suddenly changed. 'I meant my dress size, you idiot!'
The moral of the story: Even when a man is listening, he's
Going to get it wrong.
