Dateline Dayton – Last Saturday I went on a road trip, this time to the Cleveland area for a Las Vegas collectibles’ show in suburban North Olmstead. I wanted to see what it was about since the advertisement promised Silver Strikes. I had asked my brother-in-law Willie to go with me, but he had to work

Dateline Dayton – Even though it has been quite cold here, I want to tell you about the last portion of our recent trip to much warmer Florida.
While in Florida with our friends Darlene and Ray, nothing starts early, and a certain Thursday was no exception. By late morning, we were on our way to…

Dateline Dayton – I will delay the final installment if our Florida trip for a sad reason. Last Friday, a good friend died, a fellow church member, a high school classmate, a neighbor while we were growing up in Piqua, and here in Kettering for the past 35 years.

Dateline Dayton – I will continue our Florida experience next time. First, I would like to share few items of news.

Flames were streaming from the engine compartment. The coach driving stopped the van…

Dateline Dayton – I was summoned for jury duty this week. Interesting cases will be going to court in the near future, and I wouldn’t mind being on the jury for any of them. One even involves my church. Probably would be dismissed from that one.

Dateline Dayton – If you are like me, you will find articles in the newspaper that attract your attention. You read the story, expect a follow-up informing you of the outcome. So frustrating when this doesn’t happen. Today I will give an update on matters I have written about in the past.
