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.

Portsmouth-Columbus Breakfast
5-17-2012
A few of us met at Marshall’s in Grandview this morning at 8:30. Traffic caused a few delays all over Columbus this morning, but four of us shared a quality time.
Dr. Dan Ross, in coming in from Gahanna, was twenty minutes late due to I-670 traffic. I was delayed a few minutes due to 315 south traffic. It isn’t easy to get around in C’Town these days.
Dick Klitch, Blaine Bierley, Dan Ross and I shared some stories.
Dr. Ross had played HS football with Chuck Ealy at Portsmouth Notre Dame for Coach Ed Miller. Dan was a year ahead of Chuck at Portsmouth Notre Dame High School.  They played for the highly successful Ed Miller there. Dan has been in recent contact in a group’s efforts to get Chuck Ealy into the NFL Hall of Fame. It is deservable recognition for our fellow Portsmouthite who never lost a game, in which he was a starting quarterback during high school, college, or his first year in Canadian football as the qb for the Gray Cup Champion. There was one black qb in the NFL until then, Warren Moon. Nfl pro teams wanted Chuck to play defensive back, not qb, supposedly because he was only six feet tall.
Dick shared a few stories I have heard in his and my nearly weekly breakfasts. They are always classic tales.
Blaine is the retired Upper Arlington School Adminstrator who normally regales us with remembrances of P’Town incidents in the PHS Trojan Alumni Prints edited by Frank Hunter and circulated by Bob Cook.
Alice Gibson told me by phone yesterday that Smokey is having a difficult time right now due to a recent cataract surgery and she could probably not get him there. Blaine told me that Paul Bierley, Portsmouth’s great music writer, was becoming less transportable. Smokey became 90 last year and Paul is probably 86.
Dr. Ross has his hands full today due to Ohio High School Athletic Association’s TV stories last night and Columbus Dispatch Headlines and Sports stories today. The issue is athletic competion between non-public and public schools, an OHSAA plan turned down by vote. Nonetheless he attended our breakfast, his faithful secretary, Molly Donnard, scheduled with us with his agreement back in February.
It overwhelmed in quality, in spite of my presence, even though we were only four Portsmouth guys.
Sam
P.S. : Nelson barker sent his regrets today (5-18) and said that Dick Hansgen is in Europe until August.
