Although little attendance at my SamKat 2008 Blog book review, There was one good suggestion from my lifelong friend Carl Clark at thew PHS reunion. I inadvertently leave too many extraneous notes from posts I copy and I need to do a better job of self-editing to avoid that. Thanks Carl! You are right. My A-Plant friend, Ramey Sonny Hoskins, tells me to keep on keepin on. Of course Sonny is a conservative Christian like me.
The best comment at the reunion was from good friend, Hortense Bemse Robinson, who said when she made her regal appearance Saturday night: "This looks like recess at the nursing home."
I whispered to Gwili that she should seek out who takes the greatest numbers of pills a day. I was cocky in my mind about winning that query since I tke 13 in the morning and six at night in addition to my insulin shot. She whispered back that she takes 20 in the mortning and was still counting up in the 20's including the night pills when I interrtupted and told her to just forget it.
Fred Buckley, still living in Portsmouth, but first time reunion attendee, and his lovely wife are celebrating their 59th wedding anniversary this month. I thought Jeanie and I might win that one, as we celebrate our 59th January 19, 2011. Shot down another suggestion of mine for Gwili.
Some may be a little older than our 17-19 year ages upon graduation- now 77-79, but all looked great to me. We 39 who made it with spouses or friends are 34% of those living of the 212 who were graduated. Our necrology has 97 people we remember as excellent acquaintances.
Patricia Richards Whitehead attended for the first time and she made some lovely crystalline gifts for Gwili and for each of us. Russ White cancelled late, but had a gorgeous PHS 1950 craft gift for each attending alumnus.
Visits with Jim Scott, the fastest member of our class, D.E. Newman, Doctor Tom Swope, Tom Dickson, Ted and Anne, Tom and Carolyn and Carl and Emma were special for us as well as so many other good PHS alumni friends. Tom Lynch whispered for me to keep it up with the blog. Nancy Sisson Follis lives in Lexington and is also a UK fan as some may know that I am.
So many other good friends and conversations. Aren't we P'Town alumni lucky people?

Back home from the Cultural Center of Our Universe- Sam Kegley
Well, Jeanie and I are back home from Portsmouth, OH, the Cultural Center of Our Universe. Jeanie is a New Boston girl and I am of the 1950 PHS class who enjoyed our sixtieth reunion this past Friday and Saturday at Shawnee Lodge. We attended the All New Boston annual reunion at Shawnee State University in P'Town Saturday, July 31. A good dose of southern Ohio Culture for us old folks. Jeanie's nuclear family of parents John Cottle and Opal and brothers Carl and Harold Weddington have passed on and she feels the loss. Attachment to our family and friends is important as we age.
We picked up my classmates, Wanda McFarland and Joyce Meeks, here in Columbus Friday morning and drove to Portsmouth where we brunched at Bob Evans. It is a good place to meet your old Portsmouth friends,except we didn't recognize any there if we did know them before. Many were just too young for our remembrances.
I had a book review scheduled for 2 PM Friday at Hillview, thanks to our good friend, Juanita Elliott, Lamoin's widow. I was happy that Wanda and Joyce were there because it became only those two, Juanita, Jeanie and me until Ramey Sonny Hoskins showed up about 2:15. Ramey had lunched in Urbana, about 120 or so miles northwest. He is a pilot who flew himself there for lunch, but still made my 'SamKat Blog 2008' book review meeting.
I received some good pointers for the betterment of my blog during the weekend which was the main purpose in addition to our sixtieth reunion. An important question was asked by Joyce, when I admitted my advocacy of the Tea Party and the conservancy of the blog which she and Wanda had perused during the few minutes before Sonny arrived. "Why did Glenn Beck schedule the "Return to Honor" demonstration at the Lincoln Memorial on the anniversary of Martin Luther King's 'I have a Dream' speech before a huge crowd at that very spot?" Ramey took up the cross right there with an excellent answer that Glenn had said that he did not realize the date's history in the non-violent gentleman's civil rights speech when Genn's event was originally scheduled.
Sonny went on- that the purpose of the "Honor" Event was to raise recognition and donations for the families of Special Forces Americans. The highly trained forces do not know when they go out on their missions if they will ever return. Their highest desires have always been that their children and loved ones have decent lives if they are killed. Monies raised are for the purpose of seeing that the special forces individuals' children have funds for their education to help in their future. We need a return to honor in America today and Glenn believes that this demonstration will accomplish that. I believe the Tea Party demonstrators are accomplishing their mission non-violently and America's patriots will bring much good for our country.
I have an assigned mission right now to get us some milk and bananas for breakfast so I will write the blog suggestions I received and the reports of our reunion a little later today.

Anhother Dick Klitch tennis story- Sam
Another Interesting Dick Klitch Story
Dick and I meet for breakfast fairly often . Monday, August 23, it was at Spiro’s on McKinley just above Fifth Ave. From there, I go on down to Columbus State Community College to tutor math. Dick and I grew up in Mound Park in Portsmouth Ohio and have maintained our friendship throughout our adult lives.
Dick related another of his bits of wisdom in this story. I call Dick the “Dean” of tennis teaching pros in Columbus Ohio and he is widely appreciated in Columbus, Huntington WV and Portsmouth OH for his “meat and potatoes“ teaching skills. Jeanie and I witnessed his excellent teaching up close and personally as we watched him give a lesson to our fourteen year old granddaughter, Tobey Kegley, in early August.
This story was about one of his tennis teaching young pros he had working with him. He thought the young fellow may have had some promise so he assigned him to present a series of instructional clinics for some of Columbus’ most influential ladies who lived in Bexley, the well to do and mainly Jewish suburb in Columbus.
After the clinics proceeded, Dick had heard some rumblings and became a little uneasy about the progress. A couple of the ladies came to Dick and told him that he must do something to change the course of the instructions. “All the young pro wants to do is talk and that is how he conducts the clinics. We also were interested in hitting tennis balls in improving our games.”
Dick called the pro in and asked him how it was going. The man thought it was going ok. Dick then told him of hearing complaints and told him what the complaints were. Sensing no remorse from the recipient, Dick issued him a moratorium: “You have one more clinic to do and if it doesn’t go better, it will be your last for me.” The young fellow left and was not at all happy with the warning. However, he apparently did some soul searching and improved his teaching performance.
Dick also related that he had probably saved the gentleman’s life in a round about way. Dick had each of his teaching pros undergo a physical. The doctor conducting the physical had the patients fill out a seven page history. An input that his glove size kept changing rapidly tipped the doctor to have him further examined for a suspected disease. The results indicated the man had acromegaly (see below) and Dick referred it as a disease in which the extremities become far stronger, in proportion, than the other parts of the body. Reportedly, Andre the Giant, the 7 foot four inch wrestler, had the disease referenced to as gigantism. Besides physical discomforts, it can possibly lead to early death. A surgeon recommended a delicate surgery whereby an operating instrument was inserted up and under the facial skin to a place under the upper forehead to repair the pituitary gland in the brain.
Dick remembered that he had noticed the extreme strength of the fellow’s handshake when he first met him. He was only about five foot nine, but the size of his hands and his grip was extraordinary beyond expectations, particularly for a man of his stature. Dick is six foot four.
The operation was successful and the gentleman is still among us as he ages now. The fellow was later hired as a Midwest university tennis coach, thanks to Dick’s recommendation to the Athletics Director.

Acromegaly
Classification and external resources
Acromegaly (pronounced /ˌækrɵˈmɛɡəli/; from Greek άκρος akros "extreme" or "extremities" and μεγάλος megalos "large") is a syndrome that results when the pituitary gland produces excess growth hormone (hGH) after epiphyseal plate closure at puberty. A number of disorders may increase the pituitary's GH output, although most commonly it involves a GH producing tumor called pituitary adenoma, derived from a distinct type of cell (somatotrophs).
Acromegaly most commonly affects adults in middle age,[1] and can result in severe disfigurement, serious complicating conditions, and premature death if unchecked. Because of its insidious pathogenesis and slow progression, the disease is hard to diagnose in the early stages and is frequently missed for many years, until changes in external features, especially of the face, become noticeable.
Acromegaly is often also associated with gigantism.

Remember to vote in November! Thanks Judi Cole!
Subject:
Retribution is less than 5 months away!
Take a look at this and just remember elections in November 2010.
1. U..S. House & Senate have voted themselves $4,700 and $5,300 raises.
2. They voted toNOTgive you a S.S. Cost of living raise in 2010 and 2011.
3. Your Medicare premiums will go up $285..60 for the 2-years
4. You will not get the 3% COLA: $660/yr.
5. Your total 2-yr loss and cost is -$1,600 or -$3,200 for husband and wife.
6. Over these same 2-years each Congress person will get $10,000
7. Do you feel used?
8. Will they have your cost of drugs - doctor fees - local taxes - food, etc., decrease?
9. NO WAY.
Congress received a raise and has better health and retirement benefits than you or I.
Why should they care about you?
You never did anything about it in the past.
Send the message to these individuals --- "YOU'RE FIRED!"
In 2010 you will have a chance to get rid of the sitting Congress: up to 1/3 of the Senate and 100% of the House!
Make sure you're still mad in November 2010 and remind their replacements not to screw-up.
It is ok to forward this to your sphere of influence if you are finally tired of the abuse. Maybe it's time for Amendment 28 to the Constitution.
"Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators or Representatives, and Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States ."
Let's get this passed around, folks - these people in Washington have brought this upon themselves! It's time for retribution. Let's take back America .
If you don't forward this to all your friends you're just part of the problem of national apathy.

This year's Darwin nominees are:
Nominee No. 1: [ San Jose Mercury News]:
An unidentified man, using a shotgun like a club to break a former girl friend's windshield, accidentally shot himself to death when the gun discharged, blowing a hole in his gut.
Nominee No. 2: [ Kalamazoo Gazette]:
James Burns , 34, (a mechanic) of Alamo , MI , was killed in March as he was trying to repair what police describe as a "farm-type truck." Burns got a friend to drive the truck on a highway while Burns hung underneath so that he could ascertain the source of a troubling noise. Burns' clothes caught on something, however, and the other man found Burns "wrapped in the drive shaft."
Nominee No. 3: [ Hickory Daily Record]:
Ken Charles Barger , 47, accidentally shot himself to death in December in Newton , NC . Awakening to the sound of a ringing telephone beside his bed, he reached for the phone but grabbed instead a Smith & Wesson 38 Special, which discharged when he drew it to his ear.
Nominee No. 4: [UPI, Toronto ]:
Police said a lawyer demonstrating the safety of windows in a downtown Toronto skyscraper crashed through a pane with his shoulder and plunged 24 floors to his death.? A police spokesman said Garry Hoy, 39, fell into the courtyard of the Toronto Dominion Bank Tower early Friday evening as he was explaining the strength of the buildings windows to visiting law students. Hoy previously has conducted demonstrations of window strength according to police reports. Peter Lawson , managing partner of the firm Holden Day Wilson, told the Toronto Sun newspaper that Hoy was "one of the best and brightest" members of the 200-man association.
Nominee No. 5: [The News of the Weird]:
Michael Anderson Godwin made News of the Weird posthumously. He had spent several years awaiting South Carolina 's electric chair on a murder conviction before having his sentence reduced to life in prison While sitting on a metal toilet in his cell attempting to fix his small TV set, he bit into a wire and was electrocuted.
Nominee No. 6: [The Indianapolis Star]:
A cigarette lighter may have triggered a fatal explosion in Dunkirk , IN. A Jay County man, using a cigarette lighter to check the barrel of a muzzleloader, was killed Monday night when the weapon discharged in his face, sheriff's investigators said. Gregory David Pryor , 19, died in his parents' rural Dunkirk home at about 11:30 PM . Investigators said Pryor was cleaning a 54-caliber muzzle-loader that had not been firing properly. He was using the lighter to look into the barrel when the gunpowder ignited.
Nominee No. 7: [ Reuters , Mississauga , Ontario ]:
A man cleaning a bird feeder on the balcony of his condominium apartment in this Toronto suburb slipped and fell 23 stories to his death. " Stefan Macko , 55, was standing on a wheelchair when the accident occurred," said Inspector Darcy Honer of the Peel Regional Police. "It appears that the chair moved, and he went over the balcony," Honer said.
Finally, THE WINNER!!!: [ Arkansas Democrat Gazette]:
Two local men were injured when their pickup truck left the road and struck a tree near Cotton Patch on State Highway 38 early Monday. Woodruff County deputy Dovey Snyder reported the accident shortly after midnight Monday. Thurston Poole, 33, of Des Arc, and Billy Ray Wallis , 38, of Little Rock , were returning to Des Arc after a frog-catching trip.. On an overcast Sunday night, Poole 's pickup truck headlights malfunctioned.
The two men concluded that the headlight fuse on the older-model truck had burned out. As a replacement fuse was not available, Wallis noticed that the .22 caliber bullets from his pistol fit perfectly into the fuse box next to the steering-wheel column. Upon inserting the bullet the headlights again began to operate properly, and the two men proceeded on eastbound toward the White River Bridge .
After traveling approximately 20 miles, and just before crossing the river, the bullet apparently overheated, discharged and struck Poole in the testicles. The vehicle swerved sharply right, exited the pavement, and struck a tree. Poole suffered only minor cuts and abrasions from the accident but will require extensive surgery to repair the damage to his testicles, which will never operate as intended.
Wallis sustained a broken clavicle and was treated and released. "Thank God we weren't on that bridge when Thurston shot his balls off, or we might be dead," stated Wallis
"I've been a trooper for 10 years in this part of the world, but this is a first for me. I can't believe that those two would admit how this accident happened," said Snyder .
Upon being notified of the wreck, Lavinia ( Poole 's wife) asked how many frogs the boys had caught and did anyone get them from the truck? Though Poole and Wallis did not die as a result of their misadventure as normally required by Darwin Award Official Rules, it can be argued that Poole did in fact effectively remove himself from the gene pool.

Subject: Recall Notice
Well done!
RECALL NOTICE:
The Maker of all human beings (GOD) is recalling all units manufactured, regardless of make or year, due to a serious defect in the primary and central component of the heart.
This is due to a malfunction in the original prototype units code named Adam and Eve, resulting in the reproduction of the same defect in all subsequent units. This defect has been technically termed "Sub-sequential Internal Non-Morality," or more commonly known as S.I.N., as it is primarily expressed.
Some of the symptoms include:
1. Loss of direction
2. Foul vocal emissions
3. Amnesia of origin
4. Lack of peace and joy
5. Selfish or violent behavior
6. Depression or confusion in the mental component
7. Fearfulness
8. Idolatry
9. Rebellion
The Manufacturer, who is neither liable nor at fault for this defect, is providing factory-authorized repair and service free of charge to correct this defect.
The Repair Technician, JESUS, has most generously offered to bear the entire burden of the staggering cost of these repairs. There is no additional fee required.
The number to call for repair in all areas is: P-R-A-Y-E-R.
Once connected, please upload your burden of SIN through the REPENTANCE procedure. Next, download ATONEMENT from the Repair Technician, Jesus, into the heart component.
No matter how big or small the SIN defect is, Jesus will replace it with:
1. Love
2. Joy
3. Peace
4. Patience
5. Kindness
6. Goodness
7. Faithfulness
8. Gentleness
9. Self control
Please see the operating manual, the B.I.B.L.E. (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth) for further details on the use of these fixes.
WARNING: Continuing to operate the human being unit without correction voids any manufacturer warranties, exposing the unit to dangers and problems too numerous to list and will result in the human unit being permanently impounded. For free emergency service, call on Jesus.
DANGER: The human being units not responding to this recall action will have to be scrapped in the furnace. The SIN defect will not be permitted to enter Heaven so as to prevent contamination of that facility. Thank you for your attention!
- GOD
P.S. Please assist where possible by notifying others of this important recall notice, and you may contact the Father any time by 'Knee mail'!
Thanks!

Well done!
RECALL NOTICE:
The Maker of all human beings (GOD) is recalling all units manufactured, regardless of make or year, due to a serious defect in the primary and central component of the heart.
This is due to a malfunction in the original prototype units code named Adam and Eve, resulting in the reproduction of the same defect in all subsequent units. This defect has been technically termed "Sub-sequential Internal Non-Morality," or more commonly known as S.I.N., as it is primarily expressed.
Some of the symptoms include:
1. Loss of direction
2. Foul vocal emissions
3. Amnesia of origin
4. Lack of peace and joy
5. Selfish or violent behavior
6. Depression or confusion in the mental component
7. Fearfulness
8. Idolatry
9. Rebellion
The Manufacturer, who is neither liable nor at fault for this defect, is providing factory-authorized repair and service free of charge to correct this defect.
The Repair Technician, JESUS, has most generously offered to bear the entire burden of the staggering cost of these repairs. There is no additional fee required.
The number to call for repair in all areas is: P-R-A-Y-E-R.
Once connected, please upload your burden of SIN through the REPENTANCE procedure. Next, download ATONEMENT from the Repair Technician, Jesus, into the heart component.
No matter how big or small the SIN defect is, Jesus will replace it with:
1. Love
2. Joy
3. Peace
4. Patience
5. Kindness
6. Goodness
7. Faithfulness
8. Gentleness
9. Self control
Please see the operating manual, the B.I.B.L.E. (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth) for further details on the use of these fixes.
