Q: I understand that to get Social Security disability benefi ts, my disability must be expected to last at least a year. Do I have to wait a year before I can apply for benefi ts?

A: No. If you believe your disability will last a year or longer, apply for disability benefi ts as soon as you become disabled. It can take three to four months to pro-cess an application. If your application is approved, we will pay your fi rst Social Security disability benefi ts for the sixth full month after the date your disability began. For more information about Social Security disability benefi ts, refer to Disability Benefi ts (publication No. 05-10029) at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10029.html.

———Q: What are the rules for getting Supplemental Secu-

rity Income (SSI)? I’m thinking about applying.A: To be eligible to receive SSI benefi ts, you must

be disabled, blind, or age 65 or older. You also must have limited income and resources. Income is defi ned as wages, Social Security benefi ts and pensions. Income also includes food and shelter you receive from others. Social Security does not count all of your income when deciding whether you qualify for SSI. Resources include bank accounts, cash, stocks and bonds. You may be able to get SSI if your resources are worth no more than $2,000 ($3,000 for a couple). Learn more by reading our publication, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/11000.html.

———Q: I have an appointment to apply for Supplemental

Security Income (SSI). What kind of information will I need to take with me?

A: So the application process can go smoothly, you should bring: Your Social Security number; your origi-nal birth certifi cate or other proof of your age; informa-tion about the home where you live, such as your mort-gage or your lease and landlord’s name; payroll slips, bank balances, insurance policies, burial fund records, and other information about your income and the things you own; proof of U.S. citizenship or eligible noncitizen status; and if you are applying for SSI because you are disabled or blind, the names, addresses and telephone numbers of doctors, hospitals and clinics where you have saught treatment for the debilitating condition.

Learn more by reading our publication, You May Be Able To Get Supplemental Security Income (SSI) at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/11069.html.

———Q: What is the “Part B” Medicare month-

ly premium for 2013?A: Most people will pay the standard Part

B premium of $104.90 each month in 2013. If your modifi ed adjusted gross income on your IRS tax return from two years ago (the most recent tax return information provided to Social Security by the IRS) is above a certain amount, you may need to pay more.

Only about 10 percent of Medicare benefi ciaries, those with very high income, are required to pay a monthly premium greater than $104.90. For more information, visit www.socialsecurity.gov and select the “Medicare” tab.

———Q: What can I do if I think someone has stolen my

identity?A: You should do several things, including: File a

report with the local police or the police department where the identity theft took place, and keep a copy of the police report as proof of the crime; notify the Federal Trade Commission (877) ID-THEFT or ([877] 438-4338) www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/idtheft; fi le a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov; contact the fraud units of the three ma-jor credit reporting bureaus: Equifax (800) 525-6285, www.equifax.com; Trans Union (800) 680-7289, www.transunion.com; and Experian (888) 397-3742, www.experian.com.

If your Social Security card has been stolen, you can apply for a replacement card. But you usually don’t need a new card as long as you know your number.

To protect yourself in the future, treat your Social Se-curity number as confi dential and avoid giving it out. Keep your Social Security card in a safe place with your other important papers. Do not carry it with you. Learn more by reading our publication: Identity Theft And Your Social Security Number, at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10064.html.

By MICHAEL VITEZTHE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

PHILADELPHIA — Carleen Hamilton wrote the fi rst poem on a napkin, sitting in a coffee shop in Bermuda, on their honeymoon, Oct. 29, 1974.

Oh, how I gloweand grewto inconceivable brilliance in his

loving fi re.And we were called Sun and

Moon.Complete life.Virtually every workday for the

next 29 years, she wrote a poem on a napkin and packed it in her hus-band’s lunch.

And George Hamilton, director of the Fels Planetarium at the Franklin Institute, inspired by his new wife, her poetry, her devotion and his own happiness, returned the kindness.

Every morning, perhaps when she was fi xing his lunch, he wrote his own poem and taped it to the mirror in the master bath.

Four children grew up in that Cherry Hill, N.J., house, and knew, vaguely, that this was going on. But they never knew the extent.

Until last month.George died in July at 87. Carleen,

77, suffers from advanced Alzheim-er’s and was moved into assisted liv-ing in September.

A son, Brandon Hamilton, was cleaning out the house, getting it ready for an estate sale April 10, when he found 16 binders of nap-kins, saved by his father, stored in boxes in the back of his workbench area.

Then he discovered three much thicker binders of poems, saved by his mother, stacked on a closet shelf in a spare bedroom.

“I fi nd what they did so incred-ible,” said Brandon, 45, who lives in Haddon Township, N.J. “Not only the discipline of doing it every day, but the closeness that they had in their marriage because of sharing your innermost feelings every day. That fi re that you have on your hon-eymoon, they kept it alive.”

In the summer of 1974, George Hamilton had just buried his fi rst wife, who died from cancer after years of suffering. A mutual friend

New Spring Arrivals...featuring comfort & style

just in time for Mother's Day!!

LifeHere we are getting older

all the time, one day turns into another,

be ever so kind to your brother. Mankind if you will.

You find them to be like no other.

Speak ever so kindly with sweet words of wisdom.

Some sweet smile

will come like no other. You have touched

the heart of your brother, they too will find a way to smile

and be happy for a while, be happy, laugh and joke!

It’s your life, be happy among the strife,

we are only here for a little while. Be happy with your life!

There is a reason why we are here

and it’s our perfect season of life!Yvonne Carrie, 69, Lewiston

The DilemmaGrandpa says he lived through times so awful

it’s a wonder decent folks managed to survive.

Can you figure drinking being ruled unlawful?

Or whole families without a new car to drive?

His was dawn to dusk. Mine is nine to five.

Could we moderns survive no indoor plumbing,

people groping about, with candles for the pot?

Or pulling teeth without proper numbing?

Without our TV, entire evening would be shot.He recalls with great affection

times I would not. Now it’s nicely, nicely —

all hardships erased for us, it’s finding undemanding work

that really pays. It’s a norm of spoiled and lazy

— nothing to bore us. So, you see, grandpa and I

see life in different ways. It will not be me calling these

the good old days.Dan J. Williams, 82, Lewiston

Treasured MomentsFor years she’s graced your pages.Penned rhymes for all the ages.

Loving family and life.Never dwelling on her strife.Tenderness which never fails.Underneath she’s tough as nails.

Thoughts of kindness always pure.

Poetry and hope endure.Safely-traveled ways of days.Always music to be praised.

Dana Magnuson, 66, Kendrick

The CrossMiss the cross that shone

on the hill. But it’s in my heart that is beating still.

Quite a wonder at my age. To enjoy life’s blessings with thoughts so sage.

So, I’ll say thanks for the workers time. Took lots of effort,

but you all were so kind.Beverley Swanson, 88, Lewiston

A Mother’s LoveLife is full

of many responsibilities, and mothers in particular know the importance of their calling …

Creating life means so much to them

~ The greatest blessing … With open arms,

they are always there to soothe a baby’s tears …

A mother’s love for her children grows stronger every year …

Her thoughts are always toward others

~ She loves so very much …Brings joy to her heart

when they stay in touch …Our children grow up

and have babies of their own …And through the miles,

we all are connected in spirit through phone calls, letters

and poems … Memories we hold dear

to our heart ~ Until we all meet again

Rebecca Whited, 67, Clarkston

By MAry TATkoTargeT PublicaTions

grangeVille — ann bos, 89, gets up and goes to work every Monday morning, volunteering at the syringa Hospital auxiliary Thrift shop.

bos, who has been an auxiliary volunteer for de-cades, was born in grangeville, though not at syringa Hospital.

“it was a midwife in a little house close to Main street,” she said about her birth.

she and her sister, rosella DeHaas, 81, of green-creek, have volunteered at the thrift shop since it opened 11 years ago.

each Monday, the sisters price clothing at adjoin-ing tables in a back room of the shop, while other volunteers sort and clean donations and put priced items out for sale.

“it’s really quite organized,” bos said.she and DeHaas are customers sometimes, too.“For every 25 hours that we work, we get a $10 gift

certificate to be used in the store,” DeHaas said.“in fact, last week i got some things,” bos added.

“i looked at them, and i thought, ‘looks pretty good

— i’ll just trade some of mine in and these will be better.’ ”

she figures that’s one of the reasons for the store’s suc-cess — a generous amount of inventory means shoppers can find almost anything there, something bos has experienced herself many times.

When she found herself needing a jacket during a trip to Michigan, she settled for some-thing she didn’t really like after looking at several stores.

“Then i came back, and i went to work and i bought my jacket — and i’m wearing it to-day,” she said. “i found just the right jacket. it’s kind of strange, because they should have had it there, but all the stores we went to just didn’t have what i wanted.”

she’s not the only one who has discovered trea-sures at the shop.

“i have a waiting line every morning the store is

open,” director of volunteer services and shop man-ager, lori rad said.

Donations from residents of grangeville and sur-rounding towns keep the shelves full. inventory is organized by department, including men’s, women’s, maternity, children’s, electronics and books.

“There’s two more thrift stores in grangeville now and one in Fenn,” DeHass said. “We have a little competition, but it doesn’t seem like it hurts us any. We just wonder where in the world it (donations) all comes from every time. We’re just amazed that it keeps coming.”

The thrift store’s success is satisfying for the volunteers and a boon for the community, she said, because it helps the auxiliary in its mission to sup-port syringa Hospital.

“We’ve bought equipment for the hospital and just various things,” DeHaas said.

she and bos have lived on the camas Prairie all their lives, growing up on a farm just outside of grangeville with seven brothers.

“i lived on a farm ’til i was married and then i lived in town here,” bos said. “My husband (ralph bos, now deceased) was mayor for many years and he also

worked at gortsema Motors as a radiator repair man.”

she and ralph were married in 1949 and a few years later moved to the home where she lives now.

They reared four children, a son and three daughters. The oldest three live with their families in Michigan, where they settled after attending college. Her youngest daughter lives in grangeville where she works at the idaho Forest group mill.

all four children attended a christian college in Michigan, a choice the family felt strongly about but it wasn’t easy on bos at the time.

“i’ll never forget putting him on the train in spokane, going to Michigan when he hadn’t really been anywhere,” bos said about her oldest’s departure. “it was awful.”

bos has 14 grandchildren and several great-grandchildren, many

of them far away and a few closer to home.“You don’t like to see them move away, but that’s

what you want for them,” she said.Bos has seen many changes in the little town

through the years.“All for the better,” she said. “But they’re hard to

come by, a lot of times. Even like the thrift store, you know, it takes a lot of planning and a lot of work — and so many people working on it, different ideas.”

Starting a thrift store was something the auxiliary talked about for years before it became a reality, she said.

“I was with it all the way through.”Bos recalled a group of people from a thrift store

in McCall visiting with the auxiliary members about what it would take to get started.

“That really was a big help,” she said.Once it got running, the thrift store expanded the

auxiliary’s fundraising capabilities.“We always had rummage sales before that,” Bos

said. “Now we could hold all our rummage and put it in the store.”

Bos’ service with the auxiliary started long before the thrift store project, though.

For about 40 years, she has made bibs and “bur-pees” — oblong burp cloths — for the auxiliary to give to babies born at Syringa Hospital.

“I know I’ve made over 2,300,” she said as she looked through stacks of bright-colored bibs and burpees in her living room.

She has converted a guest bedroom into a sewing room, where two sewing machines are at the ready, and the closet is filled with fabric and other neatly or-

ganized supplies. It’s a special room, she said, where she has made countless items and taught her grand-daughters how to sew.

“I can sit in my chair and do the hand sewing, and then I go back and do the machine sewing,” she said. “I enjoy doing it, but my eyes are not quite so good as they should be, so I can’t just do it whenever I want. I need good light.”

Though her vision isn’t as sharp as it once was, Bos enjoys an active life as she looks to her 90th birthday on May 14.

“I’m really thankful for that, that I am in good health,” she said. “That I can do my work. I do the yard — all but the mowing — and I’ve been working around the house and doing pretty good.”

Most days, weather permitting, Bos goes for a walk around her neighborhood, several blocks in each direction, making a loop past the hospital and back home.

She keeps moving, she said, to keep the

effects of age at bay.“If you just sit down, it’s gonna get ya,” she said.She’s not the only senior staying young by keeping

busy. According to Rad, most of the 70 or so volun-teers who work at the thrift store are seniors.

Though the store is open just three days a week, volunteers work there Monday through Saturday, Rad said. Bos works every Monday.

Bos and DeHaas aren’t sure whether the next gen-eration will be able to give of their time the way they have.

“I don’t know,” DeHaas said. “In the first place, they may have to work longer, some of them, and most of that generation is working. I sometimes think what’s going to happen when we all give out.”

“A lot of the younger ones are working,” Bos agreed. “So it’s hard to say.”

History and fi ction are replete with mention of the Black Death. It was an immense event, but we don’t hear much about it now.

In the sixth and 16th centuries, the plague killed one-third of the population. The Justinian plague, during the sixth century, began in Con-stantinople ravaging the eastern Roman empire of Byzantium.

It has been said the devastation was suffi cient to prevent the reconquest of the Goths in Italy and perhaps weakened the resistance against the Arabs.

The Middle Ages essentially ended as the massive deaths of peasants led to crowds of serfs presenting themselves to the lords of the castle demanding wages.

Prayers didn’t seem to get answered, weakening the faith in the church and leading to the Renaissance.

The disease probably came from southeast Russia where it lived in mar-mot fl eas. When it infected the fl eas of rats, it was transported on grain ships to ports on the Mediterranean. It is eas-ily recognized because of the painful swellings in the axilla, groin and neck (called buboes, hence bubonic plague). Boccaccio describes the appearance in the city with thousands of deaths in hours from hemorrhagic sputum, necrosis of extremities, delirium and pneumonia.

The bacterium Pasturella (Yersinia) Pestis was isolated in the third pan-demic of China during the 19th century. It was recognized that the disease

appeared during fl ea season when the ambient tempera-ture was 60 degrees to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. If the fl eas were excluded, rats could not transmit the disease.

In fact, certain fl eas were more effi cient in transmis-sion.

Reams of print have favored other causes of the Black Death, such as a virus. Modern infection with Yersinia (plague bacillus) is capable of only an 8 percent death rate as opposed to 50 percent. The rapid spread from the boot of Italy to Rome in one day is diffi cult to explain — as not too many rats travel on ox carts. The plague returned every year for decades, with no explanation and not respecting rich or poor. Recently, plague pits have been excavated, Yersinia isolated are a different genus and are demonstrated to be more virulent and are now extinct.

In the present day, there are small isolated cases in Africa and southeast Russia. The organism resides in chipmunks in the Western U.S., including in Washing-ton. These rodents are not near population centers so exposure to rats is unusual. There are rare cases of the disease reported in the U.S.

SeniorVolunteer

of theMonth

Margaret Duncan

“If people will not speak up for other people’s rights, there will come a day when they will lose their own.”

— Tony Lawrence

Margaret DuncanMargaret Duncan, 68, of

Lewiston, is May’s Senior Volunteer of the Month for the WA-ID Volunteer Center.

Volunteer work: She has been active with the America Reads program

for about 10 years. For the program she helps first and second graders at Webster El-ementary School one morn-ing a week, and first through third graders at McSorely El-

ementary School one day a week. She also delivers meals for the Meals-On-Wheels program two to three times per week. Duncan estimates that she volunteers between 24 and 30 hours per week. She has also volunteered for the CASA program in years past and has been a member of the Lewis-ton Library board as well as its foun-dation. Duncan is still active with

Friends of the Library. At one time she was also very active with the Palouse Discovery Science Center.

Career: Duncan is a retired elemen-tary school teacher, and worked with the gifted and talented program at Lewiston. She received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the Uni-versity of Idaho, and began her teach-ing career in Moscow. After five years, Duncan went to work for the Lewiston School District, where she spent 27 years, before retiring in 2000. After she “retired” she worked part-time for the Clarkston School District for three years, then was a substitute teacher for Lewiston and Clarkston for another three years before she stopped teach-ing. In 1992, Duncan was named Idaho Teacher of the Year and as a reward got to go to the International Space Camp in Huntsville, Ala., where she received numerous science-related teaching materials to use in her classroom.

Family: She was born and raised in Peoria, Ill. Her maternal grandparents lived in Mos-cow and she had visited them through the years, which is

what led to her choosing UI. Duncan met her husband, Jerry, in college and the couple will celebrate their 47th wedding anniversary this summer. They have one daughter and three grandchildren.

Hobbies: Duncan enjoys outdoor activities such as walking and fishing. She and her husband spend time fish-ing in Elk River and on the North Fork of the Clearwater. Duncan also does water aerobics and enjoys reading.

Duncan told the Tribune when she was teacher of the year she was sent, with other recipients of the award, to space camp for a week.

“We got to do exactly what the kids do, it was awesome. And I got to bring back a ton of materials. That’s where I got my real interest in science.”

When asked what her favorite part of volunteering is, Duncan said she likes the people.

“Other than working with the chil-dren, I am on the board for Meals-On-Wheels and I deliver meals at least two to three times a week. I think the interaction with the clients there and getting to know them.”

(hackensack, n.J.)

HACKENSACK, N.J. — Call-ing all centenarians: You’re invited to a party.

A New Jersey nursing and re-habilitation company wants to set the Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of people age 100 and older. The event is scheduled for May 19 at the Regency Heritage Nursing and Rehabilitation in Som-erset, N.J.

The centenarian record is 28, which occurred at a Sept. 25, 2009, tea party in Leigh-on-Sea, England, organized by a member of Parlia-ment.

Marie Barnes, marketing director of Regency Nursing and Rehabili-tation Centers, which also has fa-cilities in Wayne, Dover and Hazlet, hopes to round up at least 50 cen-tenarians and their family members for the luncheon celebration. She’s spreading word to county offices on aging, and other nursing and retire-ment centers. But Guinness has im-posed two requirements: The cen-tenarian must produce an official birth certificate (a copy will do) and sit for a 10-minute group portrait.

“I have 25 on my list to date,” Barnes said. “Realistically, I will

lose some, but we will get some more.”

Barnes said the four Regency centers have 12 centenarians, most in good shape. She acknowledged that the birth certificate requirement could be an obstacle to participation in the world record attempt but said family members of a few of the Re-gency centenarians are looking for the paperwork.

The 2010 census counted 53,364 centenarians in the U.S. and 1,769 in New Jersey. Those figures are most certainly higher now, as cente-narians are the fastest-growing age group.

A recent article in The Record (Hackensack, N.J.) about the in-creasing ranks of centenarians mused about the identity of the old-est person in New Jersey. Official records aren’t kept, and the article speculated that George Eberhardt of Chester, N.J., who was born Sept. 29, 1904 — which makes him 108 — could be the oldest New Jer-seyan.

He isn’t.Tenafly, N.J., boasts someone

born Sept. 14, 1904: Sister Mary Victor Waters, who resides in the convent of the Missionary Fran-ciscan Sisters on Knickerbocker Road.

Sister Victor, as she is known,

spends her days praying, crochet-ing and reading the Irish Echo and whatever else she can get her hands on, said Sister Alphonsina Molloy, the mother superior.

“Her only problem is she’s deaf,” Molloy said. “But she’s still as sharp as a tack.”

Since turning 100, Sister Vic-tor has received an annual birthday medal from the president of her na-tive Ireland.

“She is not afraid to die,” Molloy said. “She lives for the day.”

So is Sister Victor, who will be 109 years old in September, the old-est New Jerseyan?

She isn’t. Adele Dunlap is more than a year older.

The Hunterdon County Demo-crat reported that the Newark-born Dunlap celebrated her 110th birth-day Dec. 12 at the Country Arch Care Center in Pittstown, N.J.

“When I was a kid, I used to joke that I was going to live forever,” Dunlap told the newspaper.

She wasn’t joking.For information on the Guinness

World Record attempt at the Re-gency Heritage in Somerset, contact Marie Barnes at (732) 995-3934 or [email protected]. Participants must be 100 years or older by May 19.

It will be the party of the centuries

MOSCOW — I, like many women, and even some men, love to shop, which is why I took the opportunity to go shopping with a group from the Pullman Senior Center.

Each month, Steve Bell, senior program coordinator for the center, plans a shopping trip to the Palouse Mall in Moscow for seniors. The group is transported on the center’s bus to the mall in the morning. They go their own way to do whatever shopping they want to, then the bus picks them up in the afternoon.

On this particular trip there were a handful of women on the bus when it arrived in Moscow, where I met them. I paired up with Kitty Martinez and we set out to do her shopping.

She said this is only the second time she has come on one of the trips to the mall, but she has taken some of the other day trips with the group.

She told me how she had given up driving and now spends most of her days visiting her husband at Avalon Care Center in Moscow. She goes there every day but Sunday, she said, and today she decided to take off to go shopping.

“My son insists I get out of the house but the only thing I will not do is go overnight,” Kitty said.

Her son and daughter-in-law work at Washington State University and they are very busy, she said, so she hadn’t had a lot of opportunities to go to the mall.

Kitty told me about some of her more successful shopping trips in San Diego where she and her husband lived for most of their married life. She was born and raised in Germany, and met her husband when he was stationed there while serving in the U.S. Air Force.

She told me how she and a friend used to go shoe shop-ping once a year in Pasadena, Calif. She said one time she came home with bags of shoes, about 15 pairs. The thought of a shoe-shopping trip like that sounds like a wonderful dream to me — I have a strong love for both shopping and shoes.

The couple moved to Pullman to be close to their son and daughter-in-law. At first, she told me, when her husband brought up moving to Pullman she thought he was crazy — she couldn’t imagine giving up their home in sunny California to move to Washington. But now that her husband is sick she is glad they made the move.

I could tell Kitty is a woman after my own heart and enjoys shopping — especially when she gets a good deal. For me, it’s like hunting. When I shop, the thrill is finding something that is marked down and getting it for even less than the price tag indicates. I enjoy the savings as much, if not more, than finding the item I’m buying. I sometimes wonder if I am just buying something because of the deal — I call it “find-ing stuff I didn’t know I needed” — and I am always convinced I need it.

Kitty was able to pick up a pair of sandals and a top for herself, as well as two shirts for her husband.

“I need another pair of shoes like I need a hole in my head. I have something like 75 pairs, but not like these. They’ll be good for summer,” she said in an almost whispered tone.

She even talked me into buying a skirt, which was a super deal — of course. And I certainly needed it.

Throughout the morning we had bumped into Dorothy, who was also with the group from Pullman. Her first priority, she had told me when she got off the bus, was to get a manicure, which she was able to do at a nail salon in the mall. Dorothy had a list for her shopping trip and planned on visiting several of the stores located at the mall.

When we met up with her at lunch, she told us about some of the good deals she had got that morning and shared the card she bought for her son’s birthday. He was turning 60, she said. Dorothy said she still needed to go to three more stores, so she ate her lunch and was off again as it was almost time for them to be picked up.

Both ladies are in their 80s, and while I didn’t hear what brought Dorothy on this trip, I know for Kitty, it was an easy way for her to get some place she otherwise would not have

been able to go. This got me thinking about many of the seniors I have come in contact with and the seniors in my life. I can’t imagine how terribly difficult it must be to still be as independent, energetic and sharp as these two women, yet need to depend on others to get around.

Don’t get me wrong, not driving isn’t a deficit. While it may be a little bit of a roadblock, it is completely normal. Many seniors like Kitty and Dorothy need organizations like the Pullman Senior Association and the senior center to get from place to place. I am glad to see these organizations exist and see the way they affect the seniors in their community. It makes the lives of those who use the services easier and allows them to continue a feeling of normalcy, which everyone needs.

These trips that Bell plans are so important and such a wonder-ful thing for the seniors in Pullman. He keeps the calendar full each month with things like trips to Spokane and Coeur d’Alene, and even overnight trips to places like Boise.

Kitty seemed to really enjoy her morning at the mall. I know I en-joyed my time shopping with her and hope our paths may someday cross again.

fi xed him up with a recent di-vorcee, a mother of four, whose husband suffered mental illness.

George drove to Upstate New York, where Carleen lived, and the fi rst thing he noticed, being an astronomer and director of a planetarium, was her medallion, depicting a moon.

He often wore one himself — of a radiant sun.

He said he simply had to bor-row hers for a planetarium show, but would drive back the follow-

ing weekend and return it — an excuse to see her again.

The date was Aug. 17, 1974, because in one poem he writes:

Time had a beginning, August 17 1974.

And with it I was born.They fell deeply and passion-

ately in love. By late September, according to their son, George told Carleen, “snows are com-ing, and these back roads will be impassable. I can come back in spring, or you can marry me now and move to Cherry Hill.”

George was 47. Carleen was 37. They had no children togeth-er. But he adopted her four chil-dren. He had three of his own,

who were grown, and whom Carleen embraced.

In their poetry, she was the moon and he the sun. And so many expressions of their love focused on space and sky.

She wrote in 1974:My moon stood wanting in his

warmthHe took my darker side and

fi red it through the racing stars to hold me still.

She wrote mostly on white napkins, but occasionally on a green, yellow or even pink one. His canvas alternated between lined paper — abundant, since she became a Cherry Hill teacher for 27 years — and stationery.
