One low point was when our boy Brian died. Other than that I didn’t have any low points. It was all onward and upward. And in the meanwhile I made a lucky investment in First National stock, which ultimately became Fifth Third bank. To make a long story short I ended up with 6500 shares of Fifth Third stock which was worth perhaps $350,000.00.

That got me interested in the stock market so I invested whatever I could. I ended up with a couple million dollars in the stock market. It doesn’t seem like anything exceptional to me, but perhaps it is.

I think my income is currently in the range of 65,000 to $75,000.00 a year from dividends. You need that because it costs about $70,000.00 a year to live here in this facility.

When my wife died and my children spread all over the United States I wasn’t able to take care of myself. I still own my house. In the meanwhile we sold the one out on south main and bought another one on Coventry drive. It’s a three bedroom, two bathroom break ranch house. It’s got a two car garage. I still on that and I still on my car which is in the driveway out there. I kept them so that if the kids came home they would have some place to stay and something to drive.
