[AT] Greenville Shows, bad times...

[George Willer]

David,

I share your sympathy for Frobl.  I've been watching Pop's slow 
deterioration while he's been in the nursing home.  (going on four years) 
Alzheimer's is slowly overtaking him in spite of all the expensive 
medication.  He'll turn 97 in two months and has been joined in the same 
home by his MOTHER_IN_LAW!  She fell and broke a hip last week and considers 
her stay there as temporary... she's only 99 and has been living alone.  She 
plans to return home soon where it's quieter.  ;-)

We enjoyed the Greenville (OH) show as always.  It's the friends that we 
enjoy most.  We may skip the Plain City (OH) show next weekend, mostly 
because of the weather forecast.
