I know you like to encourage people to be affectionate and Loving even though they Are in the Sunset of their lives and you have even pointed out that it is physically healthy to do so. I believe you Are right and that is Why 1 am sharing this with you and your millions of readers. And now for a bit of history. I was 25, and a a Della was 20, a Good looking tall Well built girl and also my neighbor. We flirted a bit but that was As far As we went. To be perfectly honest Ann i lusted for her but i kept my feelings a secret. You see her Brothers were pals of mine and in those Days when you ran around with a girls brother she was considered off limits. The years moved on and we both were married to others. I decided that my future was in California and Della remained in the Midwest. A few years ago Della sent me a clipping from the Hometown paper. We exchanged notes that Christmas. I told her that i had lost two wives to cancer. Last december Della wrote to say her husband had died. I wrote Back and told her i had this very special yearning for her that went Back to my youth. She replied a the yearning is  i told her that even though i am 85, in a still ready willing and Able. She replied a i am too a. Well Ann i am going to visit Della this summer and am very excited about it. Any advice looking Forward in California today a crossword dear Abby dear Abby our oldest son a John a is going to his first prom. He is 16/2 years old and a Junior in High school. John and three other couples planned to rent a hotel room for a Post prom party and of course drink Beer. I suggested to my husband that we should have the kids Back to our House for a Post prom party. No. 1 1 wont have to warty All night about John and his friends being out and drinking. No. 2 we live five Miles from the school where the prom will be held. No. 3 it wont Cost us a cent because the kids will pay for their own Beer and snacks. I could keep All of the car keys so no one would have to drive also i could give them All Coffee in the morning before they leave. Well my husband went nuts he says i am encouraging the kids to drink. I tried to explain that this was a special occasion and they Are going to drink anyway. He thinks i am Loo percent wrong in suggesting they come Here and i think i am 100 percent right. Also i would feel a lot better knowing the kids will be in our House after the prom. 0 a concerned Mother dear Calif you done to need any advice. Sounds As if you re doing Fine. Please drop a line and let us know How the reunion went. A flame that can Burn for 60 years sounds pretty darned spectacular. Dear Ann Landers i am the Joving and devoted wife of a Man who was recently promoted. Now he must travel four Days a  a a a a a a a a a a a a brads and i have a wonderful marriage. The problem started almost the first week he had to go out of a town. A. A a a a. W brads parents warned him that 1 would cheat on him. He resented their remarks but being a soft spoken person he did no to get his Point across very Well. Since Brad has been on the Road my in Laws have kept very close tabs on me. Last week they openly accused me of cheating with . I believe most of the problem stems from their jealousy of our wonderful marriage. They become very upset when they invite us for dinner and we have already made plans with brads brother and his wife.

C creators Syndicate dear concerned Mother i vote with your husband. To condone teen agers drinking Beer or any kind Olal Coholic beverage in ones Home because a a they re Goiri to drink anyway is in my View a feeble excuse.
