It was announced on the news tonight that today was the 65th
anniversary of FDR's death.

Did a flash back to that day and the day after.

It was a typical Northern Ohio Mid April weather, cold and overcast.

As I sat in my 2nd grade class looking out the window the next day,
saw the flag flying at half mast outside.

Raised my hand and asked the teacher, Miss Zeh, "Why was the flag
stuck half way up the pole."

She took the opportunity to give us a lesson in respect that day.

Funny the things you have stored in long term memory.
