Which Reminds Me

Yes, I vaguely remember that my ancestor in Texas helped to found a technical school for women. Maybe you should consider applying there.

Yes, I vaguely remember that Richard, my cousin Richard Andrews, had said that he ahd some deal going on in regards to Lottie Moon, a single woman who was a missionary in China, because Lottie's older sister was a doctor and married to Dr. Andrews, a Confederate physician who served during the Civil War, whereas Richard's father, Dr. Andrews, was a dentist. I am not sure what else Richard had cooked up for us, but without the Andrews cousins available, I cannot imagine I would need to discuss with their Andrews attachments, given that we here are not the Andrews family.

Yes, I see now that you are there in Brazil with those orphaned people. Listening to Portuguese gives me a big headache, although I do get a few words of that now and then.

Which Reminds Me

Yes, and I do not have even the slightest connection to this Pen Mar Industries of Norwalk, Connecticut, a tape company of no interest to me. For what do I need a Pen Mar? Or for that matter, another ink blot? 

Coincidentally, I have just noticed that one of the company's founders was Mr. Marchese. 

Coincidentally, wasn't Miss Marchese a teacher at our school in El Salvador? And didn't she have a son whose I cannot recall at the moment. 

Interesting coincidences, but not really deserving of so much public attention. I have other things on my mind than Libby's junkyard.

Yes, I think that I would ask you to mail me a copy of the Helen book, but then again I am not sure that you would understand which Helen I would be referring to. 

Obviously I would be referring to the unpublished book written by Helen D. Calkins, something about India. 

However, then again, there are other Helen books out there circulating whether publicly or privately. I can probably find other Helen books easily enough. It is the Helen D. Calkins book that is not clear to me, what are you saying? Why should I care about that?

Yes, I vaguely remember that Sharon was talking about how much she likes the music of Mocedades, a Spanish musical group. She especially likes that song, "Amor de Hombre," because it talks about how she was previously afraid of men, but now she is married so that song apparently had something to do with her overcoming her fear of men. Ok, fine, so how nice for her. Always so easy for them to talk about these things.

Yes, I vaguely remember thinking that was very weird, when she started asking me about my relatives in California, as if these clueless people would know anything about that. And why should you care?

So, yes, my mother's uncle, my great-uncle, was one who believed in paying cash for everything, even cars and houses. So that's nice for them. No credit card bills, no debts, nothing of that nature for them. 

And that was nice of them to take our family out for dinner to the Chuck Wagon restaurant, a swanky place on a wide and busy street in the middle of town. Did they pay for your dinner at the Chuck Wagon restaurant?
