A Letter From My Dad

 A letter from my Dad to  my sister, Sharon, and me while we were attending Penn State University.

 

 

April 5, 1976

Philadelphia, PA


 

 

Dear Ladies,

 

This is a joint letter ala Ida style. (Our grandmother always sent group letters.)

 

First enclosed is further evidence of our encouragement to you to continue to keep up the good work.   (As always, he sent us a check from time to time which keep us in beer.)

 

Everyone at home was pleased that Sharon received so many votes. Now you know how the Republicans feel when they offer the Best candidates and come  in Second Best. (Sharon ran for president of the PSU Student Government organization as a write-in candidate)

 

The big three (Brian mom and I) have been hitting the shore on a regular basis. Last weekend we had to Carlins, next week in the Cameaus. The weather has been very pleasant. Unfortunately, I always gain several pounds after eating goodies all day. (My parents had a beach house on Long Beach Island, NJ in addition to their home in Philly.  Brian was my 6 year old brother.)

 

In less than a month Jimmy will graduate from college. I can’t believe that there will be a Kelly kid not attending school. I think he’s going to stay with the restaurant for the time being. (Jimmy has a year older than me.  Sharon was a year younger than me and we also had another brother In college this year.)

 

We are all looking forward to seeing our upstate students.

 

Lots of love,

Dad

    Mary Jane Edmondson Wicks have you seen that some states are pre posing that having an abortion would be a felony. And people convicted of a felony can’t vote. What wrong with these people?

    Here’s the GQP agenda: no abortions, make more WHITE babies available for adoption, women who have abortions become convicted felons and are no longer eligible to vote. This is frightening. #WomensRights#MyBodyMyChoice

      Bridget E Kelly you hit the nail right on the head- the GQP is trying to turn our country into a real-life version of Handmaid’s Tale & that is very frightening

      Bridget E Kelly to tag onto what yoursaying: no abortions makes POOR WHITE babies. Keeping the majority where it is while still supplying a workforce willing to work for slave wages and conditions. This rrun every social program and even with the population boom we still won't recieve our Social Security because the government has pilfered so much of it. Not to mention CPS and child welfare lose over 20,000 kids a year. That number will only go up.

    It would seem that the wonderful treatment my brown skin brethren have received over the years has now been extended to ALL women…little to no availability of healthcare, voting rights restricted,etc…now is a time for us ALL to join forces to remind the nation of the power of women in our society

    When you are Catholic, taking a knee is a sign of respect! We do it every time we enter the pew! So we are ahead of the rest of the country on this!!
