MARGARET  THATCHER
Linden could just as easily titled this piece heroes and heroines. In his over eighty years in this vale of tears he has had precious few public figures that were truly outstanding in his eyes. One was Winston Churchill, the British leader in the WWII years; another was Jack Elam the actor that Linden viewed while he was in Alaska roughly 60 years ago (see film clip below); the third was our former President, Ronald Reagan; and the last of the group that immediately come to mind was recently deceased British leader Margaret Thatcher. The foreign press coverage varies from sorrow to joy and the U.S. coverage will probably reflect the same. Linden believes that she was absolutely great.

MOSTLY ABOUT ME       lswift8@aol.com

Monday started with me meeting some people at the Mission House and then going on to breakfast at Chick-fil-A. Then to a grocery, the post office, back by the Mission House and then home. Had a nice long phone visit with Julie and a shorter one with Jade. I had moved a table downstairs along with an old phonograph that thanks to Ray repairing some speaker wiring it is now working fine. The first 33 RPM record randomly selected starts with the song linked below. You may need to turn the volume up a bit.
