HAPPY THANKSGIVING

ANOTHER THANKSGIVING IS HERE. AS A KID I LOOKED FORWARD TO THANKSGIVING GIVING THANKS FOR A 3 DAY SCHOOL WEEK. NOW I ENJOY A 3 DAY WORK WEEK. WE WOULD GO FROM OUR HOME AT 4100 BLOCK OF CHRISTIANA IN CHICAGO TO 5900 VIRGINIA AVE. TO ENJOY MY GRANDMOTHERS MASTERPIECES OF FOOD. I WAS A RATHER ACTIVE CHILD AND USUALLY ENDED UP PINNED ON THE COUCH BY TWO OF MY AUNTS. IT WAS SO NICE TO GATHER WITH MY RELATIVES, WHICH WE DID QUITE OFTEN, AND I COULDN'T WAIT TO HEAR MY GRANDFATHER'S STORIES ABOUT LIFE IN SWEDEN AND EARLY CHICAGO. MANY OF OUR CLASS ARE GOING TO ENJOY A NICE DINNER TODAY GIVING THANKS FOR FAMILY, HEALTH A ROOF OVER OUR HEADS. THERE ARE SOME OF US WHO DON'T ENJOY THOSE THINGS AND WILL SPEND THE DAY ALONE. WOULDN'T IT BE NICE TO CALL JUST ONE OF THOSE MATES AND SHARE EXPERIENCES OVER THE PAST 47 YEARS. I FIND THIS CAMPAIGN OF MINE TO BRING TOGETHER AS MANY OF US AS I CAN VERY REWARDING. IHAVE TALKED TO PEOPLE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND NONE OF THEM HUNG UP ON ME. THERE IS STILL A LONG WAY TO GO TO FILL OUT THE LIST OF CLASSMATES AND YOUR HELP IS VERY IMPORTANT. MORE LATER, KEITH
