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.?
