The Quark In The Road
In this existential crisis we can learn from FDR

As the virus spreads, who knows what awaits.
All of us anxious of ominous fates.
To FDR look
When at war how he took
Command without saying ” Depend on the states.”

coronavirus, Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Aquinas wired
I’m Jerry Partacz, happily married to my wife Julie for over 40 years. I have four children and eleven grandchildren. I’m enjoying retirement after 38 years of teaching. I now have an opportunity to share my thoughts on many things. I’m an incurable optimist. I also love to solve crossword puzzles and to write light verse. I love to read, to garden, to play the piano, to collect stamps and coins, and to watch “Curb Your Enthusiasm”.
