For my friend, Frank Hunter and his PHS 1955 classmates:
Fw: 54 years ago...
Comments made in the year 1955!
That's only 54 years ago!
'I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, it's going to be impossible to buy a week's groceries for $10.00.
'Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won't be long before $1, 000.00 will only buy a used one.
'If cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going to quit. 20 cents a pack is ridiculous..
'Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging 7 cents just to mail a letter.
'If they raise the minimum wage to $1.00, nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store.
'When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 25 cents a gallon. Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage.
'I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying DAMN in GONE WITH THE WIND, it seems every new movie has either HELL or DAMN in it.
'I read the other day where some scientist thinks it's possible to put a man on the moon by the end of the century. They even have some fellows they call astronauts preparing for it down in Texas .
'Did you see where some baseball player just signed a contract for $50,000 a year just to play ball? It wouldn't surprise me if someday they'll be making more than the President..
'I never thought I'd see the day all our kitchen appliances would be electric. They are even making electric typewriters now..
'It's too bad things are so tough nowadays. I see where a few married women are having to work to make ends meet.
'It won't be long before young couples are going to have to hire someone to watch their kids so they can both work.
'I'm afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open the door to a whole lot of foreign business.
'Thank goodness I won't live to see the day when the Government takes half our income in taxes.. I sometimes wonder if we are electing the best people to government.
'The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather, but I seriously doubt they will ever catch on.
'There is no sense going on short trips anymore for a weekend, it costs nearly $2.00 a night to stay in a hotel.
'No one can afford to be sick anymore, at $15.00 a day in the hospital, it's too rich for my blood.'
'If they think I'll pay 30 cents for a hair cut, forget it.'

Cemetery
Jeanie and I drive down to Sunset Gardens Cemetery each Memorial weekend that we possibly can. We drove to the top back of the gardens this past Memorial weekend and took this photo. Hers and my parents are buried in the Garden of Gethsamane about 30 yards apart at the left bottom side facing the Garden. Christ's statue is overlooking the Cemetery and Gethsmane is on the far right side of the photo.
How I hesitate to post things about the actions of young kids. Even I, at 76, was a teenager once and the sexuality drives kick in at different rates for each of us. God, please help the teenagers of this generation with all of the media input glorifying sexual events. I wish I had the wisdom to protect our beautiful grandkids. Some wonderful ones get into sex too quickly and sacrifice much of their futures into too-quickly-brought-on adult responsibilities. Some have survived in a great manner, but none have made it easily.
Bruce and Jenny- Clay Vice e-mail
Subject: FW: LITTLE BRUCE AND JENNY
Little Bruce and Jenny are only 10 years old, but they know they are in love. One day they decide that they want to get married, so Bruce goes to Jenny's father to ask him for her hand.
Bruce bravely walks up to him and says, 'Mr. Smith, me and Jenny are in love and I want to ask you for her hand in marriage.'
Thinking that this was just the cutest thing, Mr. Smith replies, 'Well Bruce, you are only 10. Where will you two live?'
Without even taking a moment to think about it, Bruce replies, 'In Jenny's room. It's bigger than mine and we can both fit there nicely.'
Still thinking this is just adorable, Mr. Smith says with a huge grin, 'Okay then how will you live? You're not old enough to get a job. You'll need to support Jenny .'
Again, Bruce instantly replies, 'Our allowance. Jenny makes five bucks a week and I make 10 bucks a week. That's about 60 bucks a month and that should do us just fine.'
Mr. Smith is impressed Bruce has put so much thought into this. 'Well Bruce, it seems like you have everything figured out. I just have one more question. What will you do if the two of you should have little ones of your own?'
Bruce just shrugs his shoulders and says, 'Well, we've been lucky so far.'
Mr. Smith no longer thinks the little shit is adorable.

Thanks Patricia!
You were a beautiful girl at Portsmouth High School (46-50) and I was probably, honestly, too shy to even flirt with you. Gwila P. Fisher or Carl Clark wouldn't believe that. That Ted Truitt, who married our beautiful classmate, Anne was aware of you according to one of the pool pictures you sent. He is a fox and also he and Ann are still good friends.
You have sent me some beautiful e-mails and that speaks well of your accumulated taste throughout your life.
Thanks good friend and Go Trojans!
Sam

Lou Pritchett to Our President- Dave Miller and John Massey
Thanks Dave!
I received a similar e-mail from my good friend, John Massey. Lou Prichett has his head on straight and I certainly identify with him. President O has never met a microphhone he hasn't fell in love with. He and his speech writer(s) are the busiest people in Washington DC now and he will "talk" at any audience anywhere, anytime. If he only knew what he is saying. He must be getting directions from the King of Saudi Arabia, who has been happy to support the Islamic Extremists with a lot of money. How many times must our President cow tail with the Saudis?

Procter and Gamble Tycoon has a message for our President
Lou Pritchett is one of corporate America's true living legends -- an acclaimed author, dynamic teacher and one of the world's highest-rated speakers. Successful corporate executives everywhere recognize him as the foremost leader in change management. Lou changed the way America does business by creating an audacious concept that came to be known as "partnering." Pritchett rose from soap salesman to Vice-President, Sales and Customer Development for Procter and Gamble and over the course of 36 years and made corporate history.
AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA:
Dear President Obama:
You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike any of the others, you truly scare me.
You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you.
You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive Ivy League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no visible signs of support.
You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth growing up in America and culturally you are not an American.
You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.
You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus don't understand it at its core.
You scare me because you lack humility and 'class', always blaming others.
You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned yourself with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail.
You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the 'blame America ' crowd and deliver this message abroad.
You scare me because you want to change America to a European-style country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector.
You scare me because you want to replace our healthcare system with a government-controlled one.
You scare me because you prefer 'windmills' to responsibly capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves.
You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose that lays the golden egg which has provided the highest standard of living in the world.
You scare me because you have begun to use 'extortion' tactics against certain banks and corporations.
You scare me because your own political party shrinks from challenging you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals.
You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider opposing points of view from intelligent people.
You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both omnipotent and omniscient.
You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything you do.
You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the Limbaughs, Hannitys, O'Relllys and Becks who offer opposing, conservative points of view.
You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.
Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will probably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in eight years.
