I know we all think of Russell often. I do everyday. But think of him specially right now, he’s been gone five years today and his family all misses him.

May 30th 1945

May 30th 1945 (65yrs ago) Archie Wright Seal died in a diabetic coma. He left a 23yr old wife and three children ages 7, 5 and 3yrs old. He didn’t die as a “Hero” or a great man of knowledge or consequence to anybody but his young family.
This is just to let you know that I know of one man that died on Memorial Day, and he was just a husband and father and special only to them. But has never for one day been forgotten.
If it hadn’t been for my grandma (Rosa Atkinson) because of mother’s illness we would have been put in an orphanage. My grandmother took us and actually “raised” us, until mother remarried 7 years later and she moved on and helped “raise” her other grandchildren. She was a wonderful lady and loved her family.
Just remembering that he was my “Hero”!

About Johnny Cash
September 27th, 2003 @ 22:15Posted by: Ann
Well O.K. since you asked…… here’s my Johnny Cash Story. In 1990 my sister “Tricia” or “Aunt Pat” invited me to a seminar in Las Vegas. We stayed at the newly opened La Mirage. We went down at 5:30 A.M. to play the slot machines and have breakfast before going to the meetings, then played slots, then had lunch, then went back for more meetings and more slots. And that was just the very first day! You can imagine how tired we were so… we were going up to our rooms to rest before coming back down again when low and behold standing in the corridor waiting for the same elevator, big as life stands Johnny Cash with his arm slung around June Carter! He of course was in black, she had jeans tucked inside some knee high western boots with a pretty blouse and a big ole floppy hat. She came to about his waist it seemed. It was so special because Aunt Pat and I just loved them so and they were so cute together. But we didn’t stare or blurt anything out, we just kept poking each other and grinning. That is the only time we saw them but it was a great memory. They smiled and said “How are Ya’ll?”.
Not Catholic-Lutheran

Leslie, this is your mother informing you and friends that you did not go to Catholic school! You went to a Lutheran school with church every Thursday A.M, and you had to take your nickel for the offering. Had there been a Baptist one close by, I’m sure you would have been in it. I just wish it had been non-denominational and charasmatic!
I’m glad I didn’t know that my angel was in possible danger of hurricane whatever, while I was in Lafayette doing the Cajun dance. Of course,we had our own excitement going on (besides all the fun) of our window on the Suburban being broken and 2 stolen purses with lots of money, credit cards, ck books & etc.,being taken. Then the next A.M. coming into Houston we had a blow out on the front right tire at 73 mi per hr., in the left lane with two lanes & a cement barrier on the right to get off of. Next funny thing while trying to get a few minutes at our Social Club the famous Martinez, we discovered that Wanda had Fritz’s suitcase and Fritz had hers.
Now Fritz lives in Kennedy, his girl friend “Jimmie” is on her way to a Cruise in the Carribean and being the jealous type, when she finds out that Fritz has Wanda’s undies and Wanda has Fritz’s-she would probably jump off the ship and come home.
Anyway, that’s my interesting and funny tale, and I am still sore from laughing,dancing and riding.
