My Life in Key West
MONDAY, JUNE 27, 2011
*** begin quote ***
I am a Manhattan College graduate. Manhattan men are known as Jaspers. After the founder of the College, Brother Jasper.
Jasper John R. is a loyal blog reader. He too is a Manhattan grad. Ergo, the Jasper name. He comments frequently to this blog.
Jasper lives some where in New Jersey. He is a bit younger than me, but not my much I suspect.
Jasper’s wife, Evelyn Reinke, died of cancer. Evelyn’s birthday is July 1. Her neice thought it would be nice to celebrate Evelyn’s memory and birthday by doing something more than just sitting around and talking of her. She came up with the idea of a blood drive. Apparently Evelyn had roughly 125 pints of blood and 75 of platlets in her attempts to survive.
So a blood drive in Evelyn’s honor has been planned for July 1. It will be at the Micro Waste facility , 5 Industrial Drive, New Brunswick, NJ. From noon to six in the evening.
Go! Give! Help replenish the gift of life!
Telephone 732-565-5880 to sign up. If you give elsewhere, remember to say it is honor of Evelyn Reinke.
Let me know how it goes, Jasper.

[JR: It's nice that "Key West Lew" used his global blog to mention Frau Reinke. She'd be so embarrassed by any "fuss". In the grand scale of things, all we can do is try. Just put one foot in front of the other. That she'd insist on. Thanks to my fellow Jasper, Key West Lou.]
