MULTI-MENTIONS This is one of those rare days in which I seem to think I would be more at ease in talking with you about numerous things rather than centering in one subject as the topic for a day. We need such times because a great many small but important things happen but fail to get recorded as part of the family's history. I need such a writing day from time-to-time to help lower the size of stack of small notes which gather at the far end of my desk.
Our family doctor, for example, was in his early days a medical missionary and shortwave radio operate in Africa. On July 8th, he returned from a months stay in his old missionary post in Tanzania. I would like to sit down and talk with him several hours concerning his experiences there - then and now.
It is so easy, you see,for us to overlook much that happens to us or around us. His name is Dr. Victor Buckwalter. He is to be found at the Carillion Family Health Center, in Weyers Cave.
The game called soccer has made notable inroads on middle class Americans replaced, to some extent, baseball and softball teams and leagues. The term "Soccer Mom" is an established term in American sports-slanguage listings.
The game has no chance what so ever of replacing anything major in the sports world. I watched most of the championship game, but I left out of sheer boredom and the use of fouls to gain advantage. I left with a feeling that
which had become dirty might become nasty and I did not want to be part of it. I have long favored soccer for the deep-down and not always admitted reason that I felt I could understand it. I've learned about myself during the past few days.
