Union workers and management had settled a strike at Byron-Jackson Company in Greendale. Regional basketball play was to be broadcast through loudspeakers at Lawrenceburg , Aurora and Dillsboro. Bill Doerr and Bob Terry would share the play-by-play. Discussion had been delayed in an attempt by Lawrenceburg to annex Greendale. Hal Driver had retired as Aurora Superintendent of Schools. He was replaced by Kenneth Pitts. Meetings had been scheduled to discuss the possibility of a joint high school that would combine Guilford and Bright. Chris McHenry is Dearborn County Historian.
Down Memory Lane
Surgery was successful, and spider free
Itâs over. My knee surgery was very successful. I will say right away I did not see any spiders on the wall. I didnât even see any imaginary persons over my shoulder. Ray and I have been through my numerous hip surgeries, a big one concerning my tummy and minor ones as just part of our life together. My last one was interesting. My pinky finger and half of the next one were taking on big nap. (Cubita tunnel, caused by my ulnar nerve being compressed in my elbow.) I decided I would get that corrected. My hand specialist was in Ocala, so that meant I had to go to the The Villageâs Regional Hospital in the upscale Villages. The cozy lounge with a gentleman playing a grand piano made a great first impression. Then I went to sign in. The receptionist was rolling around a wag of gum the size
of a golf ball. So much for making an impression. I must add the care during my short outpatient stay was excellent. At my last visit, my hand doctor said it may take a year or more for the fingers to wake up. I never heard that at Doris the beginning. Six months later, they Butt are still snoozing. After a couple years of not being able to do steps, I decided it was time for a left knee replacement. The only forethought was that it was going to test my tolerance for pain. I knew I had the best orthopedic doctor and rehab center in the area. When getting prepared for surgery, I was taken back when they told me to sit up so they could put an injection in my back to numb my bottom half. My quick comment was, âI wonât feel this, will I?â They assured me I would not. I didnât.
I donât remember much of my time in the hospital: balloons from the kids, Pastor Maryâs visit and 5:50 a.m. checkups by my doctor. Needless to say I did not recognize him the first time he appeared at that wee hour. Ray must have been there too. (I can add that safely because when he had back surgery, he didnât remember much that happened the first week. That included some time at home.) I remember loading me on a $10,000 gurney â as the attendant said- and whisking me to the rehab center. I was placed in the room with Alice, a little old lady of around 90, who had fallen and broken her arm. And this Christian met her challenge. My positive world of growing up and married life came to an abrupt end. Alice didnât know what positive was. She complained about everything. She groaned and moaned as they helped her get up. She knew only channel 8 and 53 on her TV. I went home for a few hours on Christmas and Sundays. I missed her
