Remembers story about Dr. M.C. Loy Self diagnosis irritated the him, just a bit By Von Price writes: I just couldn't keep myself from telling a funny little story about Dr. M.C. Loy. One of my six brothers went to see Dr. Loy when he was 18 years old. He knew he had strep throat. He went in as usual and Dr. Loy said, "What seems to be wrong with you?" My Brother replied, "I have strep throat." Dr Loy ,(tyring to be funny) said, "Well, if you know what's wrong with you why are you seeing me?". Dr Loy was a great Doctor. I am sure that there are many stories that so many people could tell about Dr, Loy, Dr. Salato, Dr. Nell, and, also. and let's not forget Ol' Doc Bolin, as most people called him in my young days.

Editorial: A (Green) Message to President Obama There's a simple, cost lowering Adair County Way idea you're welcome to use. 1) Put a Truck Driver with a CDL in the Cabinet with authority to summarily dismiss all publicists in your bureaucracies who do not put Streets and Numbers for Venues in all news stories about Events. Putting Street & Number in all stories will save gas, save lives, save money and make America more competitive.- ED WAGGENER (We don't understand when the concept of letting people know where an Event is located is belittled. It's just a simple courtesy. Thanks to the overwhelming - almost 100% majority - who contribute to CM who remember to do so. -EW) 2012-02-08 06:16:13 | Comments | Printable version
