Corrine:
Sorry to hear the news about your dad's passing. We all have had, or
will have that experience of a parent's death. It is hard to bear,
but I'm sure he is in a better place now without pain. May God be
with you at this difficult time.

Hello Everyone:
I was in Dalton from Wednesday (6/28) to Tuesday because my father
passed away on May 27th. He was 91 and living in OrrVilla Assisted
Living. His health was so-so but his arthritis was very painful
and he
had slowed down a lot. He often said he was ready to go. He fell
on
Monday and sustained a cracked pelvic bone so he was taken to the
hospital where he passed away 24 hours later. He had sold his farm
in
April 2006 and lived at Shady Lawn Assisted Living across from
Gwen's
mother until he moved to OrrVilla in October. This feels like the
end
of a very important part of my life.
While in Ohio, I was able to envision many of the buildings and
events
that were recently mentioned on the Dalton59 pages. I think there
is a
parking area where Brownies used to be. The Dalton Dair-ette is
still
thriving. There are several empty stores which would provide unique
business opportunities to anyone who would like to make an
investment in
Dalton. The cemetary was nicely groomed and there were flags on
all the
veteran's graves. The two traffic lights are still working and
Santameyer's Gulf Station is now Kick's Auto Repair. You can read
about
Dalton's great girl's softball team at

I enjoy reading the postings on the dalton59 web site.
