Happy Bithday Tuck


Today Is My Brother Tuck's 56th Birthday. It Is His Last Birthday Celebrated In San Diego. Tuck And His Wife Evelyn Will Be Moving Back To Danville After He Retires As A Trolley Car Operator.
Tuck Has Been Counting His Days Until Retirement For About As Long As I Can Remember.
His Love For His Hometown Of Danville Is Astounding.
His Wife Evelyn Has Never Lived Anywhere But California. They Presently Reside Where It Never Rains. I Was Thinking About Evelyn The Other Day When It Was So Blasted Hot. The Heat Index Reached 105 Degrees. I Realize It Gets Hot In Southern California But It's A Different Hot. We In Illinois Experience Every Season Of The Year. I Heard That Evelyn Said She Wanted To Make A Snow Angel In Danville's First Snowfall. Hahaha, I Think She May Do That Once But She Will Soon Hate Winter Like Most Of Us. Our Rainfalls? I Bet We Get More Rainfall From One Storm Than They Get In A Years Time.
It's Going To Be Good To Have Tuck Living Back Here In Danville Again. He's A Good Brother As Well As A Good Person.
So Tuck, Continue Your Countdown To November, Your Month Of Retirement.
Your Next Birthday Celebration Will Be In Danville. Your Home.
Happy Birthday Bro.

Danville Has Lost A Very Good Family In Aya Eneli And Her Husband Ken, A Doctor Have Moved To Texas.
Aya Authored A Weekly Column In The Commercial News. Her Words Were An Inspiration And Wise Beyond Her Years. Aya Is A Motivation Speaker Of Life With All The Many Challenges We Face In Society Today.
From The Lesson Of The Ant And The Grasshopper Or How We Should Be A Good Neighbor, Some Have Become Better People By The Teachings Of Aya Eneli. Their Departure Will Be Danville's Loss.
She Feared Not On Addressing The Sensitive Issues Of Poverty, Equal Rights And Human Kindness Toward Others.
I'm A Believer That Everything Happens For A Reason. We May Not Know What It Is At The Moment But Their Mission Here In Danville Has Left An Everlasting Effect On This Community. That Reason Could Have Been The Eneli's Family Or Someone Whose Life Has Been Touched By Them.
Whatever The Reason, The Finality Of It All Is Her Words And Her Teaching Should Not Be Spoken In Vain. Let's Set The Example And Be A Good Neighbor, A Better Teacher, A Better Communicator. The Character Of Our Soul Was Molded By The Sincerity And Morals She Has Passed On Through Her Writings.
I Will Miss Her Weekly Column. I Hope She Will Continue To Deliver Her Message To The Good People Of Texas.
I Believe God Has Placed Individuals In Their Current Environment For A Reason.
Her Mission Here In Danville Has Been Completed.
Here's Wishing You Your Abundant Life Aya Eneli.
