[AT] Our little secret

[charlie hill]

Oh Ivan I'm sorry!  I sometimes read too hurriedly and totally missed that. 
That's what happens when you get more e-mail than you have time.
My apologies to you and everyone else.  Regardless who it was you do 
everyone a good turn when you help others out in their time of need.
If all of us did more of that we wouldn't "need" such a large and intrusive 
government.

Charlie , just to clarify that I wasnt talking about George .
   This was my neighbor Doug .
  George I remember for ice cream .Now I met him the first time at
Portland years ago ,and once in awhile exchanged e mails . But we were
at Red Power in Mansfield Oh and I ran into him and Marilyn  . We were
at an ice cream stand that he had told Charlene and I about . I had
asked him  about one sundae flavor ,German Chocolate , so he explained .
  SO now when we go to our favorite ice cream stand here and I'm in the
mood for a sundae thats what I get .  The one gal behind the counter
even rememers and asks if thats what i want .    I think of him every
time too when I get one .  In his passing we lost a great deal of
information ,some of which he shared with various people .
