My 50th this year. I opted not to go. Click the link below to see why. They asked everyone to send them a bio and a photo if we could. I sent them the following:
Ruth and I have been married going on 8 years now. This is my first marriage, her third. The poor woman is widowed not once but twice. She has kept her soul though and maintained a great attitude about life. A saying of hers is to 'Eat, drink and remarry.' Knowing her as I do I've decided that a man need not apologize for loving his wife.
We like to go out to dinner on the weekend. We call it date night. Often it's just to some simple burger and beer joint. Sometimes we go to a place that reminds me of a submarine - because at any moment you expect someone to start yelling Dive! Dive!
I think all people share about 90% of their hopes and dreams, the importance of their families and friends, their work and accomplishments and their striving to make a better place of this world. It is too bad that of late, we as a nation are so focused on the 10% (politics) that we don't share.
I still think of my AHS class mates as my peers and I believe that any and all of you are astute enough to make good, fair jurors. On the other hand, if it were me who was charged, I suspect most of you would vote to convict.
The 17th century Dutch philosopher Baruch Spinoza once wrote, 'A man's intelligence is inversely proportional to his tolerance to noise.' I guess that explains my wife's preference for the quietude of her house and my preference for the loud things in my garage.
I am still a Catholic. The human experience is made up of many parts. There are physical parts, emotional parts and intellectual, cultural, historical, charitable and political parts. And yes of course, there is a spiritual part, thus my being Catholic, which means universal.
I would say that my greatest accomplishment so far is that I have lived without a television in my home for the last 20 years and all but a few years of my adult life. I sometimes wonder what percentage of Americans could follow and understand the Lincoln-Douglas debates without all the alphabet soup news shows to synthesize it for them and tell them what to think.
If you have never read Jane Austen's 'Pride and Prejudice' I hope you will some day. I think it is the pleasantest little novel ever written. If you Have read it, maybe long ago, perhaps it's time to read it again. And if you've read it a dozen times you don't need anyone to tell you that reading it once more won't hurt.
Sorry we couldn't be with you tonight. Best wishes to each and all. Jerry and Ruth

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
