Did you ever anticipate on meeting someone only to find out you were not prepared for them?Well this happened to me yesterday.  I have long awaited this moment when I had the extreme pleasure of meeting Sheila Anderson.  She took time out of busy schedule to meet an old timer (me) and my bride of near 50 years in Springfield, Massachusetts.  The setting was delightful, the food was great however, the company was even better.  She was everything I thought she would be and even better.  It was like meeting a friend you haven’t seen in a long time.

  To everyone who is calling for stricter gun laws in light of the tragedy in Tucson, may I offer this little tidbit: If guns kill people, then pencils misspell words, cars drive drunk, and spoons make people fat! Remember: Hold the person accountable for their actions, not the means they chose to utilize!!! "Women marry men hoping they will change. Men marry women hoping they will not.
