Annie Penn Memorial Paid in Full




















At one time in history, you could get your money's worth.

Yesterday was a bit hectic,  so I never had time to post this 66-year-old piece of memorabilia which marks the dawning of a new age.

This is the receipt that indicates Annie Penn Hospital was paid $45.00 for the cost of birthing me.  It also dashes the long-standing and widespread rumor that I am surely not from around here because of all the "mean and cruel" jokes I have reported about Rockingham County's beloved politicians.

I can't help but wonder what it would cost to bring me into this world today - $7,000, $8,000 or more.

Thanks to everyone for the Facebook birthday wishes yesterday - AARP, United Healthcare Medicare, VOIPo, Chevy Equinox Forum, Dr. Joe Adams, Prepaidonline, my brother, my wife, my son, and my daughter.  You're all peaches!

No word from Annie Penn.

      WoW! Chester's Chicken and McDonald's. This means Reidsville will have four chicken eateries and two McDonald's. I see great things in our future and we owe it all to the new Alien on Scales and Morehead.
