European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - August 14, 1991, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Ann Landers dear Ann Landers my Beautiful Girlfriend Maria Elena was Only 20 years old when she died. A a Maria was full of love and compassion for everyone. She had the ability to bring All kinds of people together in Friendship. Everyone who knew her said she was a Joy and an inspiration. Mari suffered from epilepsy since childhood. She had a seizure and drowned while taking a Bath. That wonderful Young person died for no Good reason. The Medicine that could have prevented the seizure sat untouched in her bedroom a dozen Steps away. My Mari who was so sensible about most things ignored pleas from me and other close friends to take her medication regularly. Those of us who loved her Are upset with ourselves for not watching her More carefully and making her understand that taking her Medicine was a matter of life and death. We All feel terrible. This dear Beautiful girl did not have to die. If you care for someone and suspect or know that he or she is not taking the Medicine needed to stay Well or alive done to let it go. Done to kid yourself into believing that these people know what is Best for themselves. They done to. Talk to family members doctors co workers anyone who might be Able to influence them. Done to let the matter slide or you May find yourself heartsick and inconsolable a like me. Mourning in Albuquerque dear Abby dear Abby How tragically ironic that your column advocating concealing the cause of death to spare the feelings of the survivors appeared in the same Issue of the los Angeles times As the obituary of the famous actor James Franciscus dead of emphysema at 57. I am Happy to report that Burt Folkart a Fine obituary plainly stated that Franciscus was a heavy smoker i tend to agree with your position a with one glaring exception when a prominent person Dies of lung cancer emphysema pneumonia or any other smoking related disease de Murrow Steve Mcqueen Yul Bryn Ner Nat King Cole Harry James Lucille Ball John Wayne Zeppo Marx Humphrey Bogart Bette Davis Sammy Davis it Al. A the list is endless to suppress the fact that the deceased was a nicotine addict As they almost always Are is to play into the hands of the cigarette manufacturers. Marvin h. Leaf d.d.s., los Angeles dear or. Leaf you said a Mouthful. Dear Abby my Fiance a Jack a agreed to be the Best Man at the upcoming wedding of his Friend , August 14, 1991 dear Albuquerque you have written a Beautiful letter but it is obvious that you Are carrying a terrible Burden of guilt. Please understand that it was not your responsibility to see that Mari took her Medicine. It was up to her to take care of herself. Her failure to do so Cost her her life. Anyone who wants the latest information on How those with epilepsy can help themselves should write or Call the epilepsy foundation of America 4351 Garden City drive Landover my. 20785 1-800-Efa-1000 voice and add for the hearing impaired. Dear Ann Landers All my life i be been the Good Friend. The pal. Someone to talk to when there a trouble. Someone to go to for advice. Someone to rely on. I m glad women Trust me and i value these friendships but Why am i never viewed As a romantic Prospect can it be that 1 am too Nice i m in my mid-20s and have never had a serious relationship. In a not handsome but i m not ugly either. Do women just not fall in love with a Good Friend what a the matter with me that in a. Just a Good Friend in Santa be dear just the most durable love relationships grow out of Friendship. In fact love is Friendship that has caught fire. Can it be that you Arentt aggressive enough ill bet some of those women who perceive you As a pal would be thrilled if you would make the first move. C creators Syndicate inc. The stars and stripes today a crossword Alan and i Are acquainted and he knows that Jack and i have been engaged for More than a year. The problem is that i did not get an invitation to the wedding. Some Mutual friends got their invitation a couple of weeks ago so i know the invitations have already been sent out. It is my understanding that the members of the wedding party should also be sent invitations As a matter of Courtesy but Alan and his Bride to be have not done this. Jack says that they probably just assume that i will also attend because he will be the Best Man. Abby i would feel uncomfortable going to a wedding and reception to which i was not invited. Also in a not sure it was an innocent oversight because Alan has tried to set Jack up with other women in the past knowing full Well he is engaged to me. What should i do if anything snubbed dear snubbed Tell Jack that you Are offended at having been a a overlooked a and you would feel More Welcome if you were to receive an invitation. And since the Bride sends the invitations she should be reminded. But whether you receive a formal invitation or not you would be foolish to sit Home while your Fiance is dancing at the wedding c Universal press Syndicate across 1 Box 5 actress Ryan 8 vaudeville units 12 Rural pathway i 13 Levin or Gershwin 14 French Painter 15 land of Opportunity 17 rubber Trees 18 a the a of Wrath Quot 19 cockpit vips 21 Zebine Monkey 22 Fly in a glider 23 append 26 group of seals 28 a a a door Quot movie 31 hard fat 33 Cain s land 35 yellow cheese 36 spartan serf 38 outer Edge 40 goddess of harvests 41 like a of bricks 43 Force 45 be on one s guard 47 tempt 51 common Catchall 52 old Dominion 54 River in France 55 printers measures 56 gets too Ripe 57 evened the score solution time 21 mine 58 caviar 59 Dagger Down 1 refinery refuse 2 Young Salmon 3 Singer Paul 4 harvests 5 tvs Quot a impossible 6 special time 7 inhales suddenly 8 Praise to highly j 9 Centennial state 10 weight allowance c o i d a l a e r 1 m e o o e r by Barca Sama aaa a a a a Qaq mama a Bibb a Aig Naa Ana aaa Hmann a a a Pas Sqq a a a a bid o l a n Wien d Elg m a 1 o l e p e r r yesterday s answer 8-14 Page 19 11 soap Frame bar 16 one of the tides 20 hawaiian Hawks 23 Hardwood tree 24 owing 25 first state 27 june Bug 29 breach 30 River in Germany 32 demolished Slang 34 varied 37 craggy Hill 39 chinese dynasty 42 Anagram of Verne 44 follows a recipe direction 45 Paragon of redness 46 reticule 48 privy to 49 refer to As an example 50 alleviate 53 daughter of Cadmus 1 a 3 a i a 8-14 crypt quip car priv  e r g z p r i h w d h n d d j q x e r x w m j e g r.
