Your sis wrote to the Muhlenberg list.this is her answer..hope it helps..:>)... I am so sorry to here about the problems with Larry's military "thing"..( for lack of what to call it..lol..) It is strange, to say the least, that something that is due is held for over a year after he passed..hummmm....By the time you get you will have spent as much getting it... We are doing ok up this way...Dick is still working good but plans on retiring as soon as the credit union is paid off........by this time next year. He will be 63 on April 23rd...and looking forward to be "out to pasture".lol.. The loan isn't even ours..it is what he got to help our oldest son... Oldest so, Rich has been working in Cleveland,Ohio for almost a year....comes home on the weekend. He has 2 cats that I have to watch over at his house...which I have to do today... He works for a company out of Detroit, Mi and was sent to the Ford plant last year to do his type of work....it is possible that shortly the job there will be done so he has been sending out resumes trying to get closer to home. Most places won't pay the wages he is making with this company..$35 an hr...(lots more than his dad..) Youngest son has a almost 1 yr old son..Nicholas...my 1st grandson...That makes 3 kids for him... Daughter..(middle child) is divorced, remarried and due in May...with my second grandson...:>)...( Dylan..pronounced Dillan...Richard..after Dick..:>)..)..This will be 4 kids for her... I wanted to be there when he is born but we have a dog now and we can't leave him alone all the hours while Dick works so we are planning on going in July when Dick has two weeks off and we will take Toby with us...This will be the 1st one I have missed being there for..:>( I even seen the last one born..NOW that is an experience!!!!!..lol.. I do hope that things will start going right for you very soon... I am not looking forward to if I am left as you are.but.it could very well be me first but we don't know... Health wise we are ????...both are still smoking and I know it will be my downfall.... I haven't done too much genealogy in a while ..no excuse... Let me know if the info will help you.....Betty must have been excited when she read it but I didn't know if you would read it or now... I am going to go and play a game on pogo.:>)...Hooked there.lol.. Till later.... Love ya loads...and yes, I may not write BUT I do think about you alot.. Take care, Margaret
