1 Age

  • 1. Old age is not a disease – it is strength and survivorship triumph over all kinds of vicissitudes and disappointments trials and illnesses.
  • 2. I think that age as a number is not nearly as important as health. You can be in poor health and be pretty miserable at 40 or 50. If you're in good health you can enjoy things into your 80s.

3 Anger

  • 3. Acting in anger and hatred throughout my life I frequently precipitated what I feared most the loss of friendships and the need to rely upon the very people I'd abused.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Since I wrote to you last we have got our chapel beautifully lighted with gas and have had our anniversary.
  • 2. The chances of a reunion now are less likely. I was thinking of having a 40th anniversary of the band but now they are really another band so it's all a bit weird.
  • 3. On July 18 we will mark the 12th anniversary of the senseless loss of 85 lives in the bombing of the Jewish Cultural Center in Buenos Aires Argentina.
