It may be recalled that when I began this Retrospective I outlined the sad and serious set of circumstances that began the year,
namely the death of Marge's mother and one of her brothers, all within an eight-day period.
 
As we progressed through the year a degree of normalcy returned, until September, when we suffered other sad occurrences.
Marge was diagnosed with serious heart blockages, resulting in a hospital stay and an extreme change in lifestyle habits.
Fortunately the operation was a success, but from now on Marge limits the kinds of foods she eats, and has had to slow down considerably.
 
As if that weren't enough, within a few days after Marge's return from the hospital she received a call from her employer that
she was being forced to retire, after more than 15 years' employment there.  Yes, the firm, thanks to lousy management was
in bad straits given the lackluster U.S. economy, but our overall household income would soon drop precipitously.
 
To partially ward-off the problems facing us I became a volunteer for several political candidates, the primary one,
Barack Obama was re-elected (with the more hopeful signs that we would be able to preserve our income from Social
Security, presently under attack from the opposition party).
 
I continued to shoot stereos, but at a less accelerated pace, and in October we drove to Barryville for its annual Pumpkin Festival.
 
Marshall
