Carol Perkins: Growing Old

By Carol Perkins

They are next-door neighbors--brother and sister. She is 103, and he is 101. They have a younger brother and sister, both in their eighties. My mother, Marguerite Reece Sullivan, and her brother, Robert Reece, check on each. Although they can't visit, they send messages and inquire about each other's welfare through their caregivers. Both have mobility issues but sharp minds.

My mom has lived in her house for seventy-seven years. It was being built when I was born. Her brother and his wife, Marjorie, lived with my parents while their house was built next door. My cousin Roberta and I were babies under one roof. I have often wondered how they managed in a two-bedroom, one-bath home, but it was a time when people "made do."

My mother often says, "I don't know why I'm still here."

I lighten the mood and tell her it is to worry the life out of me! We laugh.

Letter: Occupational Tax

Kerry Robertson writes:
I support a higher county occupational tax, as I receive benefits from having a sheriff, a coroner, their deputies, an emergency management director, and those assistants.

What I DO NOT support is the idiotic city occupational tax from which I derive no actual benefit. THAT tax is a waste of my money. And I resent that a body can tax me (the city council) against whom I have no recourse as I live in the county. Ben Arnold was right! Reduce our expenses by combining city and county government!
