Edward L. Shropshire (1969)
Well, on a brighter note during these dark and dreary times, the damage my house suffered during the Easter tornado, is being repaired at a slow, albeit, steady pace. Well over $50,000 in damage, however my two furbabies, and I, escaped unscathed. I live on a hill in Ooltewah, maybe two miles from Jenkins Rd. and Standifer Gap. The song, 🎼 I Can See Clearly Now🎼, has taken on a whole new meaning. Deborah's brother, Mack Kelly, whom I had the pleasure of working under at Blue Cross, lives in the hard hit neighborhood of, Holly Hills, which I now have a partial view of. Destruction, and devastation all around! Had no electric power for eight days. Even with that, others suffered a lot worse damage, and loss! So far this year, I have survived COVID-19, EF3 tornado and an end to a 19 year marriage. But, you know, if the Lord doesn't give me another blessing, He has blessed me enough! Stay well, dear DYNAMOS! >
