I HAD NEVER TALKED WITH THE MAN. I KNOW HIS GREAT CHARACTER FROM OBSERVING HIS HARD-WORKING ACCOMPLISHMENTS. HIS DAUGHTER, SUSSN, LIVES ACROSS A DITCH AND FENCE BEHIND ME. THE ELDERLY MAN WGO KIVED TGERE PREVIOUSLY WAS SITTING THERE READING A PAPER ONE SUNDAY MORNING AND THE PAPER CAUGHT FIRE FROM THE SPACE HEATER. I THINK HE MUST HAVE BEEN ASPXIATED FROM THE SMOK INHALATION AND NOT CREMATED ON THE SCENE BECAUSE THE SHELL OF THE HOUSE WAS STILL INTACT WHEN THEY CRRIED HIM OUT IN A BODY BAG. I SAW THE HOUSE BURNING TWICE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT LEFT IT AND IT CAUGHT FIRE AGAIN FROM SOME STILL-HOT TIMBERS. MR. NEERGAARD REPAIRED THAT ROOF ALL BY HIMSELF, SO FAR AS I WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE. THAT SHOWED ME HE WAS STRONG, TALENTED AND OF GREAT CHARACTER. IF A MAN HAS TO TELL YOU HE IS A CHRISTIAN OR THAT HE IS A GENIUS, THEN YOU CAN BET HE IS A LYING HYPOCRITE. I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE DISAGREED WITH HIM POLITICALLY BUT I WOULDN'T WANT TO GET INTO A MAD RAGE OVER SOMETHING SO USELESS. I TAUGH MYSELF SOMETHING LAST YEAR THAT NOBODY IN AMERICA SEEMS TO KNOW? THE FOUNDING FATHERS WERE IDIOTS AND AMERICANS ARE IDIOTS BECAUSE AFTER 245 YEARS OF TRYING TO RUN A SO-CALLED GOVERNMENT, WE STILL DON'T HAVE ENOUGH SENSE TO REQUIRE THAT A PRESIDENT MUST BE HIGHLY EDUCATED. THEY DON'T HAVE TO HAVE ONE MINUTE OF EDUCATION. IT IS RIDICULOUS TO APPOINT SOMEONE TO LEAD YOU WHO IS LESS INTELLIGENT THAN YOURSELF. THE ANIMALS PICK THEIR LEADER MORE SENSIBLY THAN THAT. SUSAN IS KEEPING HER GRAND DAUGHTER AND SHE IS REALLY A BEAUTIFUL GIRL. ---I WAS STRANDED IN FLORIDA AWAITING THE VACCINE SO I COULD COME HOME. I JUST HOPE MR. NEERGAARD DID NOT DIE FROM THAT TORTURING VIRUS THAT IS "JUST A HOAX AND WILL GO AWAY BY ITSELF". GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU AND I'M GLAD YOU HAVE SOME GOOD MEMORIES TO HOLD ONTO. LOVE, J.R. McCLURE.
