note from a friend of mine

[Rick Mulhern]

Let's not talk 'geezers'!! I'm there I think!

See this woman here? She was 28 years old when I was born and lived in a tenant house right across the highway from where my home is now. She attends a church one mile northeast of my home and on occasion her daughter will drive her to my home as she wants to visit Mr Rick! Each year I send her a $100 bill for her birthday in November and before she left the day about a month ago when this photo was made she let me know that she would have another birthday this year. She has ten children, all living and all are workers and productive as was she and her husband, Ed Staten! She helped my Mom when I was a baby and has changed more than one diaper!! Tang is working on 104 years age this year.
