Donna,
Allow me to clarify. We drove through Waldo many times on our way to the Lake (Erie). But Waldo was too short of a distance to stop for lunch. We had a regimen about our trips and would usuallly stop in Bucyrus for lunch, so stopping in Waldo was just a waste of time.
As for your question about Dad being a doctor,,,,,well, now that I think about it, I think you are correct. But you may recall the old saying "The cobbler's children are the last to be shoed". So it goes with dcotors kids. It was a cold day in hell before we were allowed to take an aspirin. Dad was old school traditional and into exercise, nutrition, and good sleeping habits long before it was in vogue. He was (like most of our parents) raised in the "great depression" and was one of those who beleived in "less is more".
But this brings to mind one funny memory about Dad from OLP grade school days. He always volunteered to come to the school to give al of us kids our Polio shots. And every year he would start with my class. And to demonstrate to the other kids how "painless" it was to receive a shot, he would have me come up to the front of the room and make a big "show" out of giving me my shot. No, I could never wince or act afraid, but secretly I hated this routine.

As for Tim's movie idea - I like it. We already have Cecil B LaVelle directing. We could hire that great screenwriter Markus Von Schweikart, but we would not have Sister Constantious to handle the romantic scenes. Maybe we could call on someone from the Whetstone Casting Ponds to handle the kissing scenes.
I'm playing around with some titles but have to ask, would it be a murder mystery, a spy thriller, or a Beach Blanket Bingo comedy? How about "Downton Abyss"?,,, nahh. Or maybe "From Cooke Road to Eternity", mmmmm?? I think "Come Get Your Kicks from Class '66" is too quaint. I've got it! "One Flew Over the Eagle's Nest". Or maybe, for our age group how about we bring in a bunch of Roman chariots and call it, "Quo Viagra"?
