I. In 1958, was an authorized Edsel car dealer
“I moved from a Detroit suburb to Pittsburg, Kansas, to be an Edsel dealer, at age 28.
“I honestly don’t remember how many Edsels my dealership sold, but I do know that we were one of a small minority of Edsel dealers who never filed a RED monthly financial statement with Ford Motor Company.” |

D. Worked for John Glenn in the Senate
“I worked for the Social Security Administration for 30+ years. Every year the executive branch of government selects about 100 people to ‘lend’ to the legislative branch for one year as Fellows. SSA always gets at least two of these fellowship slots and I was one of the lucky people picked by SSA in 1996.

E. Mother went to hospital with a suspected tumor. Instead, he/she was born, mother’s 10th child
“My mother was 45 and had already given birth to nine children (two had died). She didn’t really need any more. She went to the hospital thinking she had a tumor; instead I was born! She was very ill so my brothers and sisters came up with $35, paid the bill and brought me home. I was a spoiled brat. Now when someone comments on my being short, it doesn’t bother me. I’m just lucky to be alive!”

Ima and I want you to guess the remaining two. Difficult task indeed since both of us need those bridge lessons! Additional info: The late bloomer took piano lessons intermittently for three years and plays a mean Camptown Races, Doo-Dah! |
