Chestnuts roasting on an open fire...

Does anyone remember Dr. Chestnut or his wife who was a nurse?Did they have children? Are they still alive? I want to know because they saved me when I was about 11 mos. old. I always wondered where they were and I'd love to give them a call if possible:)

Joanna, good thing Mrs. Chestnut was around to save you from the bathtub water. Other wise we would not be chatting with you on this Blog now! I remember someone telling me about that incident after we moved to the Circle. We all have our Angels. They come in different forms and at different times in our lifes. But don't realize untill years later.

Mat, really sorry to hear about Ronald! Always sad to hear about things gone wrong.

Well now that you mention it, it was Gary chester. I seem to remember hearing he had married years back and was running an old folks home in the states. But that was really ages ago. I have not heard of him since around 1981.

Ronald used to hang out at the Kalb's house. I remember Becky and I playing a lot of Monopoly and the game of Life with him. He was always pretty funny. Becky had told me about how he had died and I was really sad to hear that.

I'm sad to hear that also.
