He's My Brother - This is Priceless








Two young boys walked into a pharmacy one day, picked out a box of tampons and preceded to the checkout counter.



The man at the counter asked the older boy, "Son, how old are you?"

"Eight," the boy replied.

The man continued, "do you know what these are used for?"

The boy replied, "not exactly, but they aren't for me. They're for him. He's my brother. He's four. We saw on TV that if you use these you would be able to swim and ride a bike. Right now, he can't do either."

Nothing wrong with new stamp's glue ... Thanks Lyle!

Just in case you did not hear about this from the Postal Service:



The Postal Services created a stamp with a picture of President Obama on it. The Postal Service noticed that the stamp was not sticking to envelopes. This enraged the President, who demanded a full investigation. After a month of testing and $1.73 million in congressional spending, a special Presidential commission presented the following findings:



1. The stamp is in perfect order.



2. There is nothing wrong with the glue.



3. People are spitting on the wrong side

Sam,



On Friday, actor Morgan Freeman launched into an anti-Tea

Party rant during an interview with CNN's Piers Morgan in

which Freeman called the Tea Party "racist" and the "weak,

dark underside of America." Part of the transcript:



Morgan Freeman: [The Tea Party's] policy is to

do whatever it takes to see to it that Obama

only serves one term. What underlines that?

"Screw the country! We're going to do whatever

we can to get this black man out of here."



Piers Morgan: "But is that necessarily a racist

thing?



Morgan Freeman: "It is a racist thing!"



Piers Morgan: Does it unnerve you that the Tea

Party is gaining such traction?



Morgan Freeman: Yes, It just shows the weak, dark

underside of America.

Cabinet ... Thanks Alma Holl!

The percentage of each past president's cabinet who had worked in the private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet.



Here are the percentages.

T.. Roosevelt ................... 38%

Taft................................ 40%

Wilson .......................... 52%

Harding.......................... 49%

Coolidge....................... 48%

Hoover ......................... 42%

F. Roosevelt...................50%

Truman......................... 50%

Johnson........................ 47%

Nixon............................. 53%

Ford............................. 42%

Carter........................... 32%

Reagan.........................86%

GH Bush........................ 51%

Clinton ......................... 39%

GW Bush...................... 55%



And the winner is: Obama................... 08%

This helps to explain the incompetence of this administration, only 8% of them have ever worked in a job not supported by tax money!



That's right! Only eight percent---the least, by far, of the last 19 presidents! And these people are trying to tell our big corporations how to run their business? They know what's best for GM, Chrysler, Wall Street, and you and me? How can the president of a major nation and society, the one with the most successful economic system in world history, stand and talk about business when he's never worked for one? Or about jobs when he has never really had one? And when it's the same for 92% of his senior staff and closest advisers? They've spent most of their time in academia, government and/or non-profit jobs or as "community organizers." They should have been in an employment line.



Pass this on! We'll NEVER see these facts in the main stream media.

A man was leaving a convenience store with his morning coffee...

...when he noticed a most unusual funeral procession approaching the

nearby cemetery.


A black hearse was followed by a second black hearse about 50 feet

behind the first one. Behind the second hearse was a solitary man

walking a dog on a leash. Behind him, a short distance back, were

about 200 men walking single file.

The man couldn't stand the curiosity. He respectfully approached the

man walking the dog and said, "I am so sorry for your loss, and this

may be a bad time to disturb you, but I've never seen a funeral like

this. Whose funeral is it?"

"My wife's."

''What happened to her?"

The man replied, "My dog attacked and killed her."

He inquired further, "But who is in the second hearse?"

The man answered, "My mother-in-law. She was trying to help my wife

when the dog turned on her."

A very poignant and touching moment of brotherhood and silence, passed

between the two men.

"Can I borrow the dog?"

The man replied, "Get in line."

Apologies for my computer problems ... Sam Kegley

Please forgive my tardiness in not posting on the blog for the last few days.

First this computer stopped, apparently dead, for a few days and then, came back on mysteriously.  I sense an electronic miracle in cyberspace because I don't understand, but there is so much about electronics I don't understand.  I am also finishing my ninth book- "Acquanitences With Integrity II" and even had to spend last Friday at Westerville's Public Library on one of their computers, revising some formatting for my flash card of the book contents. 

Yesterday, my young son, Jeff's fiftieth birthday party (a surprise by his wife Suzy and our oldest son, Jay) leaves Jeanie and me somewhat exhausted with a full day of medical visits (none serious) ahead today.

Paul's wife, Mary, sent me an email last night that Paul, my youngest of three remaining brothers- George, Jim, and Paul- finally went to the Dr. with his symptoms and found that he has pneumonia.  Hopefully, medicine and rest will bring him back to the fullness of his life with all my invited prayers by you, my cyber-friends.

I hope to be back posting in the morning.

Portsmouth's Coach Bill Rohr ... Thanks Blaine Bierley!

Great story, Blaine!



Coach Rohr also was my best teacher among so many fine teachers in Portsmouth Ohio. He cut me from the PHS basketball tryouts, but he took my compatriot, Dick Klitch, who became his best Trojan, while playing only in his senior year due to being cut in previous tryouts. I often repeat that Dick is Portsmouth's only Singles Tennis Champion and played an additional four years for Coach Rohr at Miami. Coach Rohr and Dick Klitch are both in Miami's Basketball Hall of Fame- Dick also for Miami's Tennis Hall of Fame.

PHS Athletic History

Coach William “Bill” Rohr


Old-time Trojan fans will remember the name of Bill Rohr, who coached PHS basketball for five years just after World War II (1946-1951). You may enjoy this trip down Memory Lane with me remembering Coach Rohr.


William D. Rohr was born in Massillon, Ohio, in 1918. He was a star athlete at Massillon’s Washington High School and graduated from there in the class of 1936. Rohr made his name in basketball as an All-Ohioan and played under the coaching of the legendary Paul Brown, who coached both the Tiger’s football and basketball teams. Brown said that Bill Rohr was the best basketball player he ever coached.

He attended Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware, Ohio, where he was an All-Buckeye Conference guard. After graduating from Ohio Wesleyan in 1940, Rohr returned to Massillon to begin his coaching experience with his mentor Paul Brown. He then returned to Ohio Wesleyan for a brief coaching stint before he entered the Army Air Corps in 1942.


After the war was over, in 1946, Rohr took the head basketball coaching position at Portsmouth High School. In his five seasons at PHS, Coach Rohr led the Trojan round-ballers to an 82-29 record and captured three district titles along the way.


Rohr went from PHS to Miami University at Oxford, Ohio, in September of 1951. He was an immediate success there and his Redskins won 91 and lost 47 games in six seasons. During his tenure at Miami the Redskins won four Mid-American Conference championships.

In 1957 Coach Rohr moved up to the Big Ten Conference as head basketball coach of the Northwestern University Wildcats in Evanston, Illinois. From 1957 to 1962 his teams compiled a 66-58 record. An interesting sidebar to Rohr’s Northwestern job was that he took Bob Doll (PHS ‘50) along with him as an assistant coach. Doll was a Miami standout from 1951 to 1954 who played for Rohr at PHS and followed his high school coach to Miami.


In 1962 he assumed the post as Director of Athletics and Physical Education at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, which he held for 15 years, retiring in 1978. During the 1975-1976 school year, Bill Rohr was President of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics and was viewed by many as a pioneer in women’s college athletics.


After Bill retired as Athletic Director of Ohio University in 1978, he and his wife, Mary Ellen, moved to Oxford, Ohio. Coach Rohr passed away in Oxford in 1986 at the age of 68. He had one son and two daughters. He is enshrined in the following Collegiate Halls of Fame: Ohio Wesleyan University, Miami University, and Ohio University.
