good talk

It grows and it grows... My paternal grandmother was an Ethnic German Catholic from Romania, and her middle-name was Magdalene, common in Europe, but real uncommon for someone born in the U.S. This Robert Durst thing, Jews shouldn't be killing and slicing each other-up, show restraint.  Al Rosen just passed at "91." Enlisting in the Navy at the beginning of WW 11, Al was in the Assault on Okinawa, and discharged a lieutenant after serving 4 years.  Advancing from the Minor Leagues to the Cleveland Indians, Al was the Tribe's star 3rd Baseman for 10 years from 1947 through 1956, winning the American League MVP as the unanimous selection in 1953 when he was less than 1 percentage point in Batting Average from the Triple Crown. In 1989, Al was the National League Executive of the Year with the Giants.  An outstanding Baseball Man, Al is missed.  I've Googled everybody I can think of, not on these Services, but regular Googling.  A girl I used to see in College married some guy who was the head of Mechanical and Metallurgical Engineering for 14 years at a very famous and highly esteemed University.  I would have thought that I was the best she could do (you're thinking, you are).  It seems like she had a fine life, with children, a stable and long marriage, he must have had rodeo experience
