I have always liked this photo taken by Bob Popp on their visit to Illinois around 1989.Pictured are Kathy Popp and her mother Mertyl Stark., mom and myself. Kathy and I became good friends when we both entered nurses training at KSB School of nursing in 1963 We were also bridesmaids in each others weddings and attended several of each others children's weddings as well. This has not been always possible to do as she and Bob live in Florida and distance a problem for frequent visits. One this particular day we both had our moms with us. What is so remarkable , each mom lived 100 years and Mertyl just celebrated yet another year ! Kathy and I used to laugh at ourselves when we would call each other up on New Years Day...reporting how we went to bed early and our moms stayed up past midnight to watch the ball drop and listen to Guy Lombardo's Old Lang Syne. What a blessing to have our moms for so many years...and also to pick up the phone and chat as it were yesterday we last saw each other. What does Old lang syne mean? I looked it up and found that The title of the Scottish tune translates to “times gone by and is about remembering friends from the past and not letting them be forgotten. That says it all!
