Before going to Europe on business, a man drove his Rolls Royce to a downtown NY City bank and went in to ask for an immediate loan of $5,000. The loan officer, taken aback, requested collateral. "Well, then, here are the keys to my Rolls Royce," the man said. The loan officer promptly had the car driven into the bank's underground parking for safe keeping, and gave him $5,000. Two weeks later, the man walked through the bank's doors, and asked to settle up his loan and get his car back. "That will be $5,000 in principal, and $15.40 in interest," the loan officer said. The man wrote out a check and started to walk away.

"Wait sir," the loan officer said, "while you were gone I learned that you are a millionaire. Why in the world would you need to borrow $5,000?" The man smiled. "Where else could I park my Rolls Royce in Manhattan for two weeks and pay only $15.40?"

Juanita Purvis Gantzer passed away peacefully on Thursday morning, August 23, 2018, at the DeSoto Care Ironhead Ranch Assisted Living Facility in Arcadia, Florida at age 91. (Thelma) Juanita was born in Nocatee, Florida in the early morning of August 18, 1927, to Minnie Mae (Massey) and Horace Burrell Purvis. She is survived by one son, Edward Purvis Gantzer, Daughters-in-law (Linda) Jo (Vanest) Gantzer and Kristy (Louise) (Grah) Gantzer, and five grand children; John Robert (Angela) Gantzer, Elisha (Robert) Connell, Christine (Tony) Hamel, Katherine (Keith) Gantzer Hayes, and Rebecca Gantzer, seven great grand children, Joshua and Selah Connell, Christopher Hamel, Noah and Luke Gantzer, Samuel and Joseph Hayes. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 67 ½ years, John Gilbert Gantzer and son, John Gilbert Gantzer Jr, and sister, (Margaret) Lenora Purvis Gray. Juanita attended Arcadia, Florida schools and met the love of her life, John Gantzer in 1944 while working at the Post Exchange luncheon counter at Carlstrom Field where John was a cadet in training. They wed on September 26, 1944 in a post chapel at John’s training station in Montgomery, Alabama. Following the war in 1945 they resided with John’s parents in Glen Ellyn (Chicago area), Illinois. Later in 1947 they bought their first home in Warrenville, Illinois. Her husband worked as a DuPage County Deputy Sheriff and in the early 1950’s. John started a fledgling Motorola Service Station as a side business to his police employment. Juanita assisted him in the business while raising her two sons, John Jr. and Edward. The business flourished so that in the mid-1950’s it became John’s principal employment. The couple moved to a new larger home in Warrenville in September of 1957 where they continued to operate their business at home. Juanita assisted as an office manager, treasurer and service dispatcher for the business from home while raising her school age children. Later personnel were hired for those responsibilities and she was able to begin a career in women’s garment sales, eventually managing stores and opening new store locations. Juanita was active in the life of Warrenville’s Community Baptist Church, serving in dozens of roles from church school teacher to member of the board of deacons and church moderator of the Board of Deacons. She sang in the choir and worked with the youth group. She was involved in civic affairs, working for school funding proposals and the expansion of the high school system her sons attended. She was also active in Illinois local, state and national politics. In 1985 Juanita and John retired to Arcadia, Florida where they would be near relatives. The couple purchased a home in Forest Pine Estates of Arcadia where Juanita resided until January 2018. They became members of Trinity United Methodist Church and Juanita again sang in the choir and became very active in the life of the church. She remained an active member for over 30 years until her death. Juanita was also a member of the Desoto Memorial Hospital Auxiliary where she served terms as an officer and gave over 25 years of service to the organization. She joined the women’s organization, the “Red Hats” and she was also active with her husband in the DeSoto Radio Club of ham radio enthusiasts. Juanita loved travel and saw most of the USA in her lifetime including Hawaii (twice) and was always ready for the next travel adventure. Above all she loved visits to her family. She was a devoted Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother. A celebration of her life will be held on Saturday, September 29, 2018 at 11:00 AM at Trinity United Methodist Church, 304 West Oak Street, Arcadia, Florida 34266. Luncheon will follow the service. She is to be inurned next to her husband in the Trinity Columbarium.

“THE STATUE”
Peace River Shopper
It’s not known for sure, but some people think the gargoyle lives to be at least a hundred years old. If they do live that long, some of them must have been on those roof tops a long time, they may have even been around when the town was being built. Can you imagine all the things they might have seen, like who went where and who did what? After all, the whole town just thought they were statues on top of the buildings. Sure, people had heard stories of the gargoyle, but they had heard that they lived in caves and as far as they knew had never harmed anyone and that they lived way out in the woods and kept to themselves. As a matter of fact, no one had ever seen one up close before. They had an idea of what they looked like from some of the old stories, but no one had actually gotten close enough to be sure. No one had ever tried to find one before or even knew how. They thought they mostly lived in caves. They only knew that no one had reported anything about them harming anybody until now, but now the whole town was out to get one of them. Some of them were really fired up about the old man getting attacked, but of course some of them thought a little different, they thought that the old man was drunk and had made it all up. Either way, the guns were out and tempers were high as they started their hunt for the gargoyles. Maybe if they had known how big and strong these things were, they might have proceeded with a little more caution. With the gargoyle living in large groups, there would be little ones as well as big ones, males and females, all living together. Another thing, how would they communicate with them? How would they know which one was guilty? When the search first started everyone was all excited and thought they would be the one to get this monster. What they didn’t know was that the gargoyles knew what they were up to and were doing a little watching as well. The lookouts on the roof tops had a pretty good view of where the hunters were at pretty much all times. More than likely after living all those years, they probably had some idea of what the humans were saying, or maybe at least have an idea that something was going on. The gargoyles were a prideful group. They always walked upright and kept themselves clean looking. They were like giant bats. They always seemed dressed in black and had very shiny skin. As in any family, some of them lived in small groups on the out skirts of the woods. The first gargoyle they ran into was a young male. He was not yet full grown but still stood about 7 foot . As the hunters watched him through the bushes they were surprised to see him walking around like a human. Even though he looked like a monster, he didn’t act like one, until he saw one of them staring at him. The gargoyle took one look at the man peaking at him, spread his enormous wings and… Chapter 4 by Bumpy Thermos
