| My father admitted to me that he had been a Jerk in his life. Then laughingly he would add, "Soda Jerk that is" He worked at Wittig's as a Soda Jerk when he was a teen. |

| Dad was so interested in the period of Revolutionary War. During the final weeks of his life, he was reading a book called, "The Boys of 76" He wrote on the inside cover, "Family, Please keep this Book. Read it. It tells a great deal about the pain and death it took to form our country into a starting Nation" Dad (Oaky) This book sat next to him in the living room, the whole month of April 2000. After he died I sat down to look at the book that he felt he needed to read before he died. This is when I found the inscription. Anyone interested in reading it, let me know. Anyway, he would have liked this article too. Click Below to see! |

| 5/5/2000 Was the day of the Grand Planetary Alignment. This alignment they claimed would cause earthquakes, floods and in some cases split the planet in two like a cleaver through a head of lettuce. Many of experts and amatures alike looked forward to this day with great anticipation. Alignments cause gravity, magnetic fields and tidal forces to magnify. Within the hour after the great alignment, my father passed on. Click here for article |
