A Good Woman

On April 6 we attended a 60th birthday party for Jeff Lund. Present were six adults (Lunds, Duchaceks and Putnams) and four teen-age girls, all seniors at LUHS (our three natural daughters plus our "adopted" daughter Camila, presently staying with the Lunds).

Jeff was the oldest person present, and at one point Howard Duchacek asked him, "To what do you attribute your longevity?" To which Jeff replied, without any hesitation whatsoever, "A good woman."

All three wives agreed that this was a most excellent answer. And for the rest of the evening, there were various wisecracks about "a good woman."

Somewhat later we were discussing good books that we had read recently. I ventured that I had a book about "a good woman." But it wasn't much of a book, because it was just pictures.

I got the best laugh of the evening!
