I keep smiling hoping ndone will notice., , I' am afraid to ask after the health and whereabouts of friends I've not seen for a ':.few months afraid to hear they are no longer here - or are very ill. I seem to take it forgranted that these friends will always be around and I am filled with remorse and hate myself for not making sure they were still happy and well. I am not really insensitive to others feel- ings and well being - I'm just too sensitive about it and the hurt lasts for a long time. If only we were more "sensitive" to mental telepathy and could broadcast only the hap- pier thoughts to each other. Every day so many things remind me of different people I know and I smile to myself and sometimes talk to my friend Walt, about it and we enjoy another minute with an oid friend. I have been thru so many happy and wonderful. phases in my Many years that. l heliey isthe reason I%ave beenwell--an presumably "busy l reryone is as busy as they have a mind to' be, Sometimes I am so darned busy things are put away, tidied up and made shinywith little effort on my part. The next thing I do is pull everything, apart again - and I'm back to normal. I don't understand it. ' I envy these people who have a place for everything and everything ---! You, guessed it! BUT -I'll bet they have not done as many experiments or tried so many . crafts or perhaps thought about so many happenings that have taken me down the years - or even just sat back and watched things happening all around me - and enjoyed it - or have they? No one tells me anything! Well, yes they do. I have been honored and humbled with the things people have confid- ed and loved them for it. I don't like to be a bearer of bad news and T break up when I'm given bad news - `tho they seldom realize it. Besides losing dear friends I am about to lose a dear granddaughter - even if I pray a lot! Sometimes I wonder if it is all worth it. I must try to find a cheery note - and a lit- tle happening to a big tease always brings a siruiie, so I'll i going to repent it. This was told to me by a wonderfullittle w w to t. h tld of young s, ie oldstersof epees who sis about a youngtan who'had stayed or boarded at. the > well here - and it was prom time at the high school,,.Since I knew Durny Phillips and his wife to lie- Ida Currie - I thought it was priceless. ' Durny was taking Ida to the prom and he , asked Gladys' mother if she would mind laundering his best shirt for the occasion. She readily consented; now's the chance to get even! She starched and ironed it - but she had dipped the whole shirt in cold starch and the shirt was a stiff as a board all over. But he wore it to the dance - he had no choice. It was the hi -lite of the evening and those who knew about it felt they were now even with him. Ida and Durny later lived in Dungannon for years - I hope I hear a snicker from that area. One of the many brilliant pupils of Miss McDowell was Ted Howell. She taught him and Barry Attridge in Grades 5 to 8. Ted a brilliant speaker now a lawyer and Barry a mathematics teacher. She had high praise for both "boys". We have high praise for all three of them. Look out for each other.

He has a parish of 15,000 and lay people of the parish are relied upon for assistance.Travel in his area is mainly by boat and canoe.
