If you read the comments on my last blog, you will see that there is a difference in perception of Baruch Obama between my good friend and colleague, Phil B. and me. I see Obama as the best choice to change the direction in which the current administration has led this country. And Phil is fervently opposed to him, and that's OK with me...he has one vote, same as I do. In so many ways Phil and I are alike; we think alike, we like the same people and dislike the same people; we love sports, and we love coaching. However, in this case, we approach whom we like as CinC for our country from the differences in our life experiences. I understand where Phil is coming from, and I hope that he knows where I've been. I'm voting the democratic ticket no matter who's on it. I do have a Hillary button and an Obama button. If I had a Phil button, I would wear it.
Yesterday, we went to a luncheon to say farewell to a great lady...and I mean a GREAT LADY. Merna Gordon is 95 years old. She played the piano here in Huntington Lakes for many of the shows that I've been in, like "HMS Pinafore", "The Mikado", "Music Man", & "Fiddler on the Roof". She is a woman with a great deal of class, and much loved by all who know her and by all who have had the pleasure of working with her on musicals. Of course, that was while she lived here in Huntington Lakes. A few years ago she moved into the home of a significant other and when he recently died, Merna's children insisted that she move out to Oregon to be near them. So yesterday we said a sad farewell to her, and I hope she'll be able to take her beloved piano with her.
