Page 2 THE RETIREE’S CORNER
************************************************************************************ On December 9th., Bonnie & Vince Burkey, Sandy Carey, Rosemary Cousino, Dolores Fountain, Sue Heisler, Tom Hoffman, Bob Nietubicz and Rob Oetgens greeted Marilyn & Bernie.Vinnie discussed a problem with our BC/BS Vision plan. There has been a change in the wording. It seem that it only applies to Doctors, and not some of the other suppliers of glasses now. Bernie also reported that he went to take advantage of the 2 for $99 sale at Sears, and they said our plan would not O.K. their normal part of the expense. Sears would only accept full payment, suggesting that you later turn in a bill to BC/BS and see if they would reimburse you for their part of the payment. Froggy reported that Lenny Bogucki really appreciated the "get well" card we all signed last month. Lenny passed away and we missed his memorial service on Dec. 22nd. Since then Jim Barron, and Probation Officer, Bob Schockman have also passed away. Bernie knew his two brothers, Mike and Gary, who lived next door to Bernie in the 1960’s. We had printed copies for those who could not read the RECORD on our website at: <www.recordnewsletter.com> The Retirees meet about 9:00 a.m. on the second Monday of each month at Benny’s Restaurant (on South Dixie Highway) in the corner next to Ambassador Hall.
Anyone may join us. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Remember your sweetie on Valentine’s Day! Happy wife — Happy life. Consider daily: Do you want to be happy, or do you insist on being right?
************************************************ THE OLD PATHS An email from Alan Falor
I liked the old paths, when Moms were at home. Dads were at work. Brothers went into the army. And sisters got married BEFORE having children! Crime did not pay; Hard work did; And people knew the difference. Moms could cook; Dads would work; Children would behave. Husbands were loving; Wives were supportive; And children were polite. Women wore the jewelry; And Men wore the pants. Women looked like ladies; Men looked like gentlemen; And children looked decent. People loved the truth, And hated a lie. They came to church to get IN, Not to get OUT! Hymns sounded Godly; Sermons sounded helpful; Rejoicing sounded normal; And crying sounded sincere. Cursing was wicked; Drugs were for illness. The flag was honored; America was beautiful; And God was welcome! We read the Bible in public; Prayed in school; And preached from house to house. To be called an American was worth dying for; To be called an American was worth living for; To be called a traitor was a shame! I still like the old paths the best! 'The Old Paths' was written by a retired minister who lives In Tennessee . I wish the old paths were before us instead of behind us.
