My dear friend Harry Hall from Kuser School class of 1950 and Hamilton High class of 1954 sent me an email with a number of graphics from www.wackywits.com on the destiny which every human being must go through. We call it aging. The graphic is a very clever testament to those of us who are experiencing "old age." I have assigned this masterpiece to the "WHIMSICAL" folder in the Hamilton Library Local History Collection.RALPH LUCARELLA said...
HI TOM....WHEN IT COMES TO AGING, I THINK I QUALIFY. THIS MONTH I WILL CELEBRATE MY 93RD BIRTHDAY AND I FEEL ALONE WHEN I RECALL MOST OF MY MANY FRIENDS AND TEAMMATES HAVE GONE TO MEET THEIR ANCESTORS. MAY GOD BLESS THEM AND MAY THEY ALL REST IN PEACE. I FEEL I DONE IT ALL, FROM CHAMBERS BURG, TO VILLA PARK, MORRISVILLE, MERCERVILLE AND HAMILTON SQUARE. FROM SURVIVING THE GREAT DEPRESSION, MAKING THE SCHROTHS BASEBALL TEAM IN 1936, CREATING THE HAMILTON BOWLING LANES IN 1955 , RETURNING TO THE POST OFFICE DOWN FLORIDA AND NOW ENJOYING A PENSION MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I DONE IT ALL. KEEP UP THE FINE WORK OR PLEASURE IN BRINGING BACK THE GLORY DAYS OF OUR YOUTH. I WISH YOU BEST OF EVERYTHING.
RALPH, YOU ARE ONE OF MY MOST RESPECTED GLOVER320 STARS! YOUR LIFE EXPERIENCES HAVE ADDED IMMEASURABLY TO THE MANY POSTS ON WHICH YOU HAVE COMMENTED OVER THE PAST 7 YEARS. I WISH YOU A HAPPY 93rd AND HOPE I WILL BE AROUND WHEN YOU CELEBRATE 94 and BEYOND! IF YOUR PHYSICAL CONDITION IS ANYWHERE NEAR YOUR MENTAL CAPACITY, YOU WILL BE HERE FOR MANY MORE BIRTHDAYS.
