EllieHes nearly ninety. He met a woman at a church dance and I guess it was love at first sight for both of
them. I guess they are both quite active at their church, so it was easy to meet and spend time together.
GlynWow! Close to ninety? Are you sure? What about her?
EllieIm positive. I just saw them and asked how they were doing. She is eighty-four and on her sixth
marriage.
GlynIs she really?
EllieYes, she is. And guess what? She has 34 grandchildren and almost 50 great-grandchildren.

Professor Green certainly threw us a curve today. Half the questions were from parts of the book he told us to
read but he never covered them in class. Of course, most of us didnt bother to read the stuff, so we really got
caught.
Bill told me he couldnt take me out last night because he had to study for a big exam. So it threw me for a loop
