LINDEN'S LIFE
As usual, attended the early morning Men’s Prayer Breakfast. It was nice to hear from the guys who just returned from the annual golf outing that they still award an 8 X 10 blowup of the picture that appears on my blog. It was taken in about 1998 and shows me with my suitcase looking dejected and sitting in front of a sold nursing home. I love that picture…it is called “The Linden H. Swift Memorial Last Place Award”. Had a late lunch with Larry who is up for the race. His 64th. We worked together on the State Police over 40 years ago. Nice visit.
