In new window Team USA Softball opens in Tokyo Olympics 7/20/21 Inbox Sam Kegley 4:52 AM (7 hours ago) to Nathan, Charles, Graydon, Rick, Rachel, Daniel, Marion, tobeydk@gmail.com, me "Women's sports get boost in TV ratings, visibility" per this June 19, 21 "Sports Extra" not-to-be-missed article! I, this blue-collar railroader's son and retired metallurgicaL engineer, have felt so many blessings in life. The sport of softball is nearly the pinnacle for "Old Sammy", particularly little girls' softball. Portsmouth Ohio area friends, Graydon Webb's lifetime acquaintance with Charles Ison, the entrepreneur of Creative Network Studios, have brought about the screenplay "Diamond Girls" by Nathan Wheeler of CNS, based upon my "Grandparents and Softball" book subtitled; "Girls Love Softball". As a University of Kentucky alumnus of many years ago, I subscribe to the Lexington Herald-Leader online mainly to keep up with UK basketball. My wife, 90-year young Jeanie, and I, keep up with the UK teams and have had a terrific year of watching their ladies' sports teams this spring. In watching the UK ladies' teams win the National Volleyball Championship, and also enjoy a very successful softball season. We have especially enjoyed the "Sports Extra" the LH-L includes. The delayed 2020 Tokyo Olympics are extremely probable here in 2020, and "Diamond Girls" might enjoy a 'kick-in-the-pants' or KITP charge for the opening games on July 20, 21, within a month. Old Sammy believes NBC Olympic coverage and Charles Ison's friends at NBC could give a 'sold-sign' boost to production, if completed before or in the shortest time thereafter. Everyone has witnessed that Sports professional salaries have been sky-rocketed through media efforts over the last few decades, and barring 'Armageddon', the ladies will most likely enjoy a KITP breakthrough in sports entertainment with the 2021 coverage out of the COVID 19- devastated 2020 year.

Grandddaughters and their additions to Jeanie's and my enjoyment

Our youngest grandchild, Ida Scout, Jay's and Terri's, youngest, became 11 last Friday, June 11. Our lives instantly overflowed with grandparental love when we first spotted each of our three granddaughters at their birth. Scout's sister is Tobey, who will becomne 25, July 12. Younger son Jeff's, Morgan, will become 26, November 15. Joy in seeing, hearing, or sharing has always been instantaneous as we are permitted time with any one of our beauties. Each are Ohio U. graduates and have begun their working journeys. Tobey is so talented in anything she enters into and Scout, a fine artist with painting, is so conscientious in applying her gifts. Morgan enjoys middle school science teaching as her dad, Jeff, did in High School unntil his retirement just a few years ago. Jeanie and I will celebrate our 70th anniversary January 19, 2022. The thing that is so astonishing to us is the happiness the little girls, and now young ladies, have brought us in these latter years of our lives. We credit our Creator and His plans for us humans in sending His son, Jesus, as our savior. The words and music of "How Great Thou Art" rings beautifully in our ears, as we wonder at these few short years. of our lives. We thank you, Lord! Jeanie and Sam Kegley

Gas Inbox Sat, Jun 12, 7:02 AM (5 days ago) Gas is now $3.19 in New Boston, $3.15 in the Burg ! Sam Kegley Sat, Jun 12, 8:43 AM (5 days ago) to Paul C. All from a moderate PUSA, Paul. One of The biggest crimes against America by any human, was that of the supposed moderate who sat there signing that stack of re-regulations, which our wonderful predecessor PUSA deleted to help MAGA! Then "Old Sleepy Joe" went back to bed for the day. I don't know if he has ever woken up from his nap. I pray that the middle voters of America wake up soon to what we have already lost in Biden's short presidency, but then become aware of what is before us and how important their verified votes are.. They don't seem to care. Talk about the 'ostriches sticking their heads in the sand ...' Sam Kegley Friend in DC Sat, Jun 12, 9:17 AM (5 days ago) So true! We are paying $3,39 a gallon in our area. Further southeast cheaper.

SamKat- Charles Barkley American with Highest amount of Common Sense!

In new windowI recommend everybody to read Charles Barkley- Wikipedia. I have just read it. Inbox Sam Kegley Jun 12, 2021, 11:10 AM (5 days ago) After the republicans and democrat politicians have so badly screwed up our country- the most blessed country in God's created history, I somehow thought about Charles Barkley. Now, Old Sammy's sports entertainment has been topped by his being a Kentucky basketball fan after finishing my undergraduate degree at that wonderful institution in 1961. This was while I was trying to nap, which I do most times after waking early around 5 or 6, going to pick up the Columbus Disgrace newspaper, subscribed to by six of our thirty-seven condo in our one building resident, and doing a very quick workout in our very nice little workout room. Just keepin' the old fellow's joints moving, and his muscles from sagging less. I thought how wonderful it would be for Dolald Trump to win in 2024 and have Charles as his VP partner. I loved Mike Pence, veep with PUSA Trump and as a Christian representative of USA citizens. Charles would simply Thank you, God for helping make me a Kentucky basketball fan. I have dredded games against Auburn's "Round Mound of Rebound", back in the days when Coach Joe B. Hall had to contend with the fellow. I love the man, Charles as his comments show his outstanding amount of 'common sense'. I wish God would get Trump and Barkley together to lead this country out of our Soddom and Gomorrah ways. I, in my very unimportant but wonderful capacity as an American citizen, would like to nominate Charles Barkley, once the fat boy basketball player, as the Ameican Citizen with the highest amount of Common Sense.

Sleepy Joe's honeymoon is over

Members of the Portsmouth Breakfast Group wondered if one had been planned, and I emailed her a few weeks ago, asking about it. Dick and Joan had lived with their son, Tim and his wife in Austin, TX for the last few years after a stroke left Dick requiring help in walking and communicating for a while. They raised their family in their Marble Cliff home near Grandview. He had been in hospice a while before he passed 1/31/21 in Austin. Dick was on Halls of Fame for Tennis and Basketball at Miami of Ohio, Northam Tennis, signed his star on the Portsmouth floodwall, won Portsmouth High School's only singles tennis championship, was part of the US Navy's tennis doubles championship in the Far East, and was named a Portsmouth Ambassador. He was recognized as one of their finest athletes ever. Because he also played basketball for the AAU Akron U semi-pro basketball teams after graduating from Miami, he was known all over the state and the world or wherever he played any kind of ball. He called himself a 'meat and potatoes teaching pro' and was very well respected as a teaching pro. I neglected to catch the ≈ time of the event but ZI expect it will be nearly mid-day because Columbus is accessible from most parts of the state in just a couple of hours' drive. Please advise any of those who might have known Mr. Klitch, Joan, or any of the popular and successful family. Jeanie and I are so grateful to have shared many events with them, Sam Kegley 614-882-5991 or 614-632-9962 CP Reply Forward

My nomination for best-performing American voters in 2016 and in 2020

The white American voters would be next in line. The business-man President Trump easily outperformed all of the politician presidents outstandingly in my honest opinion! We had an actor-President who served nearly as amicably. Joe Biden is a pretender who, in his half century as a politician supposed-representative of the people has simply represented his family and gained them riches due to his political offices. I believe representative's efforts to permit and accelerate voting of people without verifiable identification as American citizens is criminal and the elected officials should create such a law. I guess it is terrible to be a Conservative Christian in this shrinking religious nation. I feel a dislike from some of my family and former friends because of such opinions, so be it! You should know where I stand. Sam Kegley Westerville, Ohio, USA. Reply Forward
