His name was Earl Ray Riddle. He came home without a scratch, though some of the stories he told, kind of made me wonder if he was still human. A lot of things we do when we are young only become memories that haunt us many years later. We all have them I think.<br /><br />Back then, Riddle's life revolved around a really fast Mo-Par product that was fire engine red. I wonder if he's ever questioned some of the things he laughed about doing. If he has, I sincerely hope he was able to say to himself, it was the right thing to do at the time.<br /><br />When I first moved to Wisconsin, a couple of my first friends were from Kenosha. Good people. I wonder what ever became of Rick Kamin. He used to describe his dad, Dick Kamin as a fellow who was buying up blocks of slums in Kenosha, and was the only white guy in the neighborhood.<br /><br />Union Grove has always seemed like a nice town, but I've only driven through it. I'm in a small town in Dane County. Slowly, I make friends here, and so far, with the exception of one fellow, all have been wonderful. I don't see myself ever moving back to Madison.<br /><br />Nice cutting torch in the photo. I have one very much like it, mine's a Smith. Will you have a shop in Kenosha? If you won't, I'm sure you will miss having one, but all decisions in life are a trade off.

Most of them have said the same thing you just said but after the pain was gone for a few months they changed their minds and most of them got the other one done.I do wish you could have it done in another hospital though. Having caring people around you means so much.<br /> Other than being limited in what we can do for JESUS' cause and Kingdom and some muscle cramps now and then Jerrie and I don't do much suffering. I thank GOD for that because I don't do suffering well.<br /> My JESUS I am coming to YOU on behalf of my Brother and YOUR servant. I pray YOU will touch with that all physician hand of YOURS and take away the pain and let the healing come quickly. He has so much he wants to do for YOU and his precious wife. It is in YOUR name JESUS I pray. Oh yes and he and I are joining in a prayer for his friend Bill Tippett. We likewise ask YOU to heal him also.
