RE: Erma and Senior..........

[Guest guest]

Erma:

I just had to share this with you.....as I have had many responses to the

" Senior " piece but this has to be the funniest.

My friend, , that I have known over 30 years from our years at the telephone

company and I exchange emails frequently.

We have not actually seen each other for maybe nearly 20 of those years. The

divestiture of the phone company came in 1984 and I took advantage of an early

retirement having given them 22 years. had a few more years and was able

to hang on just a couple (no easy task at that time) and took an regular

retirement.....then it was off to Alaska for her with her dog and cat in her car

where she spent several years....married a bush pilot who later contracted

cancer and died...stayed awhile longer...grew to hate the continuous snow and

two hour days or two hour nights and headed back to Oregon this time. We have

stayed in touch by letters until the advent of emails and the both of us

acquiring PC's.

Now we were contemporaries...she being a year or two older but not much and we

used to run around together somewhat with us both being widows.

Which leads me up to these extractions from our emails....I just about rolling

everywhere. Talk about " Senior Moments " and telling me that I was responsible

for everything along with Senator Kerry.

your generation along with Sen. Kerry....

Hello Jan,

I apologize, I thought you were in your 50's.

Hey you look good for your age.
