Ginny

Hi to all,
I got home last night from Ginny's. My computer would not boot and I was very worried about it. It is back up, so I will just let everyone know what is up with Ginny.

She went into the hospital on Tuesday with bronchitis. That cleared up with medication. She has had an aneurism that they found 5 years ago and it has been monitored. It had doubled since her last picture of it. In trying to measure this aneurism, they found that she has another one - even bigger. She is not going to do anything about this situation at this time, but she is going to schedule a consultation with a surgeon in Pittsburgh where the surgery would take place (if it happens). That has not been scheduled yet. She came home on Saturday. I left on Monday. She is still Ginny. Her spirits are good. She is a realist. She has not smoked for 2 weeks. We will see how things go. Tom has lost his job. Things are tough.

Kristin, Thanks for the support and the communications about Aunt Ginny. As we said on the phone yesterday, Ginny was always there for Jack's kids. She showed us a little more about literature, and art, and the fun things in the world. I sure wish her the best recovery and peace of mind. KK

Thanks for posting this. Even though Ginny's situation, medical and otherwise, is difficult, it's nice to know that she is still the same Ginny.

Family Contacts

 Carey called me and asked if I could find the listing of contacts for our family that he created years ago.  I did have a file copy and Carey and I updated it.  I have attached this here in Word and Pages that can be edited for new entries and updates.  There is also a PDF copy.  I added sections for Aunts & Uncles and Cousins.  These sections are missing people and dates, but perhaps I can work with Kristin to fill in some of this.

 When watching the evening news today, I saw an image of coal barges lined up at the docks at the USS Mon Valley Steel Plant.  Of course the news segment was about the White House blocking the sale of USS to Nippon Steel.  My mind wandered to to dad's career at the Robena Prep Plant.  I didn't think that it was still in operation but I searched for more information.  I found that the Robena deep mines closed in 1983, but plant continued to operate until 2017 processing coal from surface mining for Consol Mining.  It seems that reclamation of the site began many years before 2017, most likely mandated by local concerns about environmental damage from seepage from the three large slurry ponds and other surface contamination.  Dad took me out one Sunday afternoon to inspect the dikes and berms around the ponds.  We had to hop into one of the big company trucks to traverse the dirt roads around the site. I read a couple of articles about the ongoing l...
