1935

I can give orders to be healthy, but can't follow them. Got myself a stroke to start the year off but am roaring back. Thanks to all of you who called wishing me a speedy recovery.

Ed Reich reported that Mildred is having health problems. I'm rooting for you to be your old self.

To Lou Hawkins: Thanks for your inspiring card.

Irv Sager, a profile of courage since he lost an arm, called and made me count my blessings.

Yank: Always love hearing from El Presidente.

Have a feeling you will be reelected ifyou play your cards right and I'll ride along on your coattails.

Keep sending in those Green Cards or phone me and I will be as good as new in no time.

Three deaths to report: Martin Joseph Waters, January 22; Calvin Jewett Wright, December 18, 2002; and Herbert William Hands January 15.
