Remembering Mel on Columbus Day
Tomorrow Columbus Day would have been Mel's birthday. Mel is my deceased husband. His parents told me when he was born they didn't agree on a name so the doctor signed Columbus L---- on his birth certificate. They had to go to the court house and get his name changed when they had come to an agreement on the name Mel. Mel was a commercial refrigeration mechanic by trade, served his stint proudly in the U. S. army and was a good family man.

Paula, loved the last poem. Liked the picture of 'The Soldier'. You remind us who have not lost someone that close yet, of how fortunate we are.
I am reminded daily of what an attorney told my dad. Dad went in and said 'I would like to make out a will in case I die.' The attorney said,"let's get something straight Reverand, it is not incase you die, but when." Dad never got over that, I don't guess I ever will. You do good.
very handsome too! my best! rose
Ms. Paula how long were you married to Mel?

I had trouble with my kids' birth certificates. One father wanted a little 'Ronnie' and I did not think he deserved it, so it was left blank and I had to fill in later. I thought my daughter could be named King, but found out she had have my legal name which was Shurtz, and he was not the father! I received a call from him saying his present wife was indignant, so I had to go to court and change my name officially back to King, so she was King for 4 years when her dad showed up and insisted on changing it to Hitt after he insisted on marrying me without being divorced. I had to keep illegal legal name Hitt all these ears to match my kids' last name! Gerry
He was very handsome, Paula. What an interesting story about his birth certificate!
