Our winter this year in Philadelphia reminds me of
Madison – I am a retired Clinical Psychologist , my wife, Marianne, is a part
time Pastor at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church. We have four grandkids in
Leesburg,VA and four more in Hampstead,NH. I raise pedigreed show rabbits of
the Rex breed and developed a new variety, Amber Rex, which was accepted by the
National Rabbit Breeders Association at their Convention in Grand Rapids. This
past October, Pennsylvania hosted the National Rabbit Convention in Harrisburg
and we had over 22,000 rabbits there from all 50 States and a dozen foreign
countries. We have enjoyed good friends from coast to coast in this wonderful
hobby.
Thank goodness, it happened a few days after (not before) our 55th reunion, but I broke my leg on Sept. 10th !!! Just a stupid fall in my kitchen. But actually it may have been the best thing that happened to me. It made me realize it was time to finally move out of my 3-story condo (my garage was in the basement) to avoid future falls. And so I moved to the Oakwood Village Retirement Center here in Madison, where I have a very nice one bedroom apartment and I am very happy. One night I ate dinner with Jean Manchester who hired me back in the 50’s when I worked at Manchesters part time – though of course we didn’t remember each other. And another resident I met a few weeks after moving in was Sally Oosterhouse … yup, George’s sister. What a small world!
