From the
Editor
We finally got an
opportunity to “breathe” last Friday.
When I uncovered my wound from where the melanoma was removed on Friday,
I notice a bulge in the skin between the stitches and my eye--which I hadn’t
noticed earlier. As it turns out it was
really there from the beginning and confirmed when we made a quick trip back to
the doctor Friday morning and he presented his explanation for its
presence. He explained that by stitching
the wound horizontally rather than laterally to keep from “tugging” at my eye,
he created a bulge of loose skin between the stitches and my eye because the
skin was pulled so tight to cover the wound.
He said that as soon as the skin over the wound stretched (which it
will) the bulge will then flatten out.
However, that information was not the most important that we learned on
Friday. As he entered the examining room
with a slight smile on his face he announced, “I have good news. We got the pathology back and the melanoma
wasn’t as deep and they thought and we got it all!” My next question was, “Will I have further
follow up to this?” He responded, “Yes”
and my heart sank. That comment was
immediately followed with, “You’ll have to come back and get the stitches out.” That was to happen yesterday (I’m writing
this on Tuesday), but due to the snow his office was closed and we’ll go in
this afternoon to get that done. I plan
to get copies of the pathology report from the original biopsy and the removed
melanoma while there. I’m still
searching “between the lines” to see if there’s anything we’re missing. Unfortunately, that’s just the way “I
roll.” Obviously, even with my scrutiny,
I am very much more at ease. However, I
understand that once this has happened, there’s always the possibility of other
melanomas “popping up.” So, I’d guess
that checkups will now come a little more often than every 6 months. Hopefully, for now, we can let this issue
rest.

We’re getting things wound
up here to head to
I certainly don’t want to
sound like a “broken record” but would not feel right to not again thank each
of you for your prayers and supportive comments as we have dealt with this
“melanoma issue.” I know that all of
your prayers were heard and acted upon.
God bless each of you.

Some History as It Happened—Not a Re-creation
This is a great video! 1940’s aircraft carrier in the Pacific—rare
color footage. This is 16mm color (not
‘colorized’) footage of carrier action in the Pacific. There were not many color shots in the ‘40’s
as they were extremely expensive then with a complicated and exacting
processing process. Enjoy.

Alumni Website
We have renewed the account that Wanda
Jackson had set up at the photo sharing website, picturetrail.com for the
Roosevelt Alumni: http://www.picturetrail.com/rooseveltalumni. She had posted many pictures from past
reunions, class panels, and old schools buildings along with write ups about
them. We thought you might find these
interesting if you haven’t visited this site in the past.

The Skinny Lumberjack
A large, well established,
Canadian lumber camp advertised that they were looking for a good
Lumberjack. The very next day, a skinny little man showed up at the camp
with his axe, and knocked on the head lumberjacks' door.
The head lumberjack took one look at the little man and told him to
leave. "Just give me a chance to show you what I can
do," said the skinny man.
"Okay, see that giant redwood over there?" said the lumberjack.
"Take your axe and go cut it down."
The skinny man headed for the tree, and in five minutes he was back
knocking on the lumberjack's door.
"I cut the tree down," said the man. The lumberjack couldn't believe
his eyes and said, "Where did you get the skill to chop down trees
like that?"
"In the Sahara Forest," replied the slim man.
"You mean the
The little man laughed and answered back, "Oh
sure, that's what they call it now!"

The new Maine Governor, Paul LePage is making
He brought down the house at his inauguration when he shook his fist toward the
media box and said, "You're on notice!
I've inherited a financially troubled State to run. Observe...cover what we do...but don't whine
if I don't waste time responding to your every whim just for your amusement."
During his campaign for Governor, he was talking to commercial fishermen who
are struggling because of federal fisheries rules. They complained that 0bama brought his family
to Bar Harbor and
The Martin Luther King incident was a political sandbag, which brought him
national exposure. The 'lame stream'
media crucified him, but word on the street is very positive. The NAACP specifically asked LePage to spend
MLK Day visiting black inmates at the Maine State Prison. He told them that he would meet with ALL
inmates, regardless of race, if he were to visit the prison. The NAACP balked and then put out a news
release claiming falsely that he refused to participate in any MLK events. He read it in the paper for the 1st time the
next morning while being driven to an event and went ballistic because none of
the reporters had called him for comment before running the NAACP
release.
He arrived at that event & said in front of a TV camera, "If they want
to play the race card on me they can kiss my ass", and he reminded them
that he has an adopted black son from Jamaica and that he attended the local
MLK Breakfast every year that he was mayor of Waterville. (He started his morning there on MLK
Day.)
He then stated that there's a right way and a wrong way to meet with the
Governor, and he put all special interests on notice that press releases, media
leaks, and all demonstrations would prove to be the wrong way. He said any other group, which acted like the
NAACP could expect to be at the bottom of the Governor's priority list!
He then did the following, and judging from local radio talk show callers, his
popularity increased even more: The
State employees union complained because he waited until 3 p.m. before closing
State offices and facilities and sending non-emergency personnel home during
the last blizzard. The prior Governor
would often close offices for the day with just a forecast before the first
flakes. (Each time the State closes for
snow, it costs the taxpayers about $1 million in wages for no work in return.)
LePage was CEO of the Marden's chain of discount family bargain retail stores
before election as governor. He noted
that State employees getting off work early could still find lots of retail
stores open to shop. So, he put the
State employees on notice by announcing:
"If Marden's is open,
He told State employees: "We live

THE LAW IS THE LAW!
I really love this one.
This is one of the better e-mails I have received in a long time! I hope this
makes its way around the
"THE LAW IS THE LAW So "if" the
And "if" that same government decides that the "Ten
Commandments" are not to be used in or on a government installation, then,
so be it.
I say, "so be it," because I would like to
be a law abiding
I say, "so be it," because I would like to
think that smarter people than I are in positions to make good decisions.
I would like to think that those people have the American public's best
interests at heart.
BUT, he said, "YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE I'D LIKE?
Since we can't pray to God, can't Trust in God and cannot post His Commandments
in Government buildings, I don't believe Government (Federal, State and Local)
and its employees should participate in Easter and Christmas celebrations which
honor the God that our government is eliminating from many facets of American
life.
I'd like my mail delivered on Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving
& Easter. After all, it's just another day.
I'd like the" U.S. Supreme Court to be in session on Christmas, Good
Friday, Thanksgiving & Easter as well as Sundays." After all, it's just another day.
I'd like the Senate and the House of Representatives to not have to worry about
getting home for the "Christmas Break." After all it's just another day.
I'm thinking a lot of my taxpayer dollars could be saved, if all government
offices & services would work on Christmas, Good Friday & Easter. It shouldn't cost any overtime since those
would be just like any other day of the week to a government that is trying to
be "politically correct."
In fact....I think our government should work on Sundays (AFTER ALL, It was
initially set aside for worshipping God) because, AFTER ALL, our government
says that it should be Just ANOTHER DAY...."
What do you all think???? If this idea
gets to enough people, maybe our elected officials will stop giving in to the
"minority opinions" and begin, once again, to represent the
"majority" of ALL of the American people.
SO BE IT....Please Dear Lord, Give us the help needed to keep you in our
country! 'Amen' and 'Amen'!
If this gets around the country a few times, I believe we all will see a better
day!
