Nomad News Vol.5-No.114

MAY GOD GRANT YOU ALWAYS
     To all my friends:  I have received beaucoup messages with wishes for a happy 96th birthday.  I appreciate and treasure every one of them.  So far, I have had a wonderful and memorable life; most of it revolving around the word FUN!  There is an old Irish saying that goes like this:  May God grant you always; a sunbeam to warm you; a moon beam to charm you; and a sheltering angel so nothing can harm you.  I believe I have had such an angel protecting me since the day I was born and when I survived the deadly 1918-1919 flu that killed millions when I was less than a year old.  May God grant you always this same protection.
  I have chronicled a number of incidents in my life where I escaped possible death or serious injury and some mysterious force has intervened.  I have also chronicled events in my life, starting in 1940, that show positively that I was destined to come to Crossville, Tennessee and, that I am here for a purpose that  has yet to be revealed.  That is what keeps me going as I try to be the best I can be each day.
