That's a very sweet story.
A day or two later it all caught up with me as Ma had to bring me to see Dr. Kolb, there on Hecla in Laurium? Where the massage place is now? Earaches. Two of them...cause, well I have two ears. And Mrs. Burge was there, big surprise, to see my 2nd grade teacher there. She moved with us to 3rd grade, too, taught us again there...she was a gunslinger...was missing a couple fingers on one hand, victim of some sort of sewing machine, big one, on the east coast.
I get a chance to make jam, Lin...maybe I could send you a jar or two...running low. Need time. Time is coming. Over and out.
