I love reading about your daughter’s mission. She’s such a great person. I guess we all hope for our children and grandchildren to be watched over by angels. At least that’s what I pray for daily.

I’m so sorry to hear that. Two of my college roommates lost their dads to bizarre cancers brought on by their work on the atom bomb at the Los Alamos labs. So many families affected forever.

Janice, during the Korean War, 1955, my dad was assigned to Camp Desert Rock, Nevada for a gov’t program to make soldiers comfortable with the atomic bomb. They were sent out in the desert to watch the bombs explode about the same time you were huddled under your desk. They used brooms to brush the radiation dust off of each other. Things unimaginable now. He died at age 64 from radiation caused thyroid cancer, 24 years ago and I miss him every day. We’ve got a small minority of parents howling for us to stop wearing masks, but I think we should still do all we can. Even if it’s the equivalent of brooms brushing off dust, we’re still trying! Thanks again for making us all think and reflect! Nancy

I hope you are saving your comments to me, because you are writing a book about your life. Just in very small segments. I’d like to know more about that list in the first paragraph. I think fewer and fewer people have memories of those times, and you could help supply those for history. Plus, I entirely agree with you. Spiritual and physical preparation are the keys to living without fear.
