Cutter's Log - Stardate 2102.11.90
Current Song - Amazing Grace
We lost another member of the evening coffee klatch at Shell last week. Brenda Roberts passed away on Thursday night. The Roberts, her and Joe, would come in and sit at the tables most nights at the Shell station when I was working.
As did the Schraders, Dorothy and Bill. Dorothy passed away 14 months ago this week.
Brenda's funeral is today, the 11th of September. 11 years since the attacks. The time of the funeral? 11 a.m.
It seems fitting. Joe and Brenda were married on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1961.
"They closed down City Hall. They closed down the banks on our wedding day," Joe told me one night.
No, this wasn't a little town somewhere near Tupelo. This was Waukegan.
Of course, November 11 is Veterans Day. :)
