Prayerfully, I hope that one day our scientists will cure us of such a horrible curse.ĪN ORCHID for the assurance Joe Lee Dunn’s grandchildren never had to share their names with anybody else in grammar school. Joe Lee was once awarded the University of Chattanooga’s top award for a male student, “Batchelor of Ugliness,” and when the late Joe Morrison found out, “JoeMo” wanted to name him “Assistant Coach of Ugliness.” Oh, the times we once had.ĪN ONION for the fact that only heaven’s gate could rid Joe Lee of the horrible dementia that plagued him the last 10 years of his life.

So very sad …ĪN ORCHID for the great advice, “Start every day by being happy … and even if you’re not, a good reason to be happy will come along quicker than you think.”ĪN ONION to the news that President Biden – in Rome for climate-change hysteria – arrived in a motorcade that included 85 vehicles.
No wonder the daily print edition of the newspaper will cease on December 31 in at least some delivery areas, including East Brainerd. Here’s hoping the new iPad format pays off for the great reporters and staff, because Sunday’s sports section was six scant pages with no paid ads. Thank God I was there in the happier days.
