Resident of the Month;Marian GilgallonRecently, a group of Second Floor Sterling residents reminisced about growing up before World War II. Marian Gilgallon’s memories include growing up in West Philadelphia, a strong family life, playing outside with other kids, but also being hindered by the fear of polio. “If there was a local outbreak of polio, our play time in the street was shortened. After about 30 minutes of jump rope, even if in the summer, we had to come back on the porch. My parents and the neighbors were firm with us kids. We attended the local Catholic schools. The nuns were also strict. We had to sit with our feet still and our hands folded. Because we were used to it from home, it was easy to follow.”

Growing up “before television”, families listened to the radio together: kids programs in the morning, soap operas in the afternoon and variety shows at night. “Before television” people often did handwork while listening to the radio. Television changed some of that and lots of people stopped doing handwork. The shocking and sudden attack on Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941, is a day Marion will never forget. “People stayed by their radios, worried with the possibility of another attack. It was the “9/11” of their day.”

Advise for others? “Obey the Ten Commandments and you will stay out of trouble.”

Greetings Residents & Families,

Happy Valentine’s Day!I can’t believe its February. Winter is the warmest season.

Oh, you say you want a reason?Is it warm when snow piles high and wide? Is it if you’re bundled up inside?

When it’s storming, when it’s raining, I stay indoors without complaining.Other people like to ski,

Or sled down a hill, but not me.While you’re bundling up in your jacket,

I’m tearing open a hot cocoa packet.I don’t mind summer; I’ll make that clear,But winter’s my favorite time of the year.

Milton Berle’s One-Liners About Cold Weather

What Day Is Today? - Author Unknown

It gets a little cool in Minnesota. Last year, I was there in December. I was cold in places I didn’t even know I had.

It was real cold last winter. The termites didn’t even have to chew. They just let their teeth chatter and leaned forward.

It was so cold the other day I sneezed once and broke my Kleenex.

It was so cold the other day Superman froze is S off.

It was so cold in our neck of the woods last winter. Instead of storks, penguins were bringing babies.

It’s been real cold. Yesterday, I looked in my closet, and my coat was wearing a sweater.

It’s been freezing here, but I don’t mind. I look great in blue.

Over breakfast one morning, a woman said to her husband, “I’ll bet you don’t know what day this is.”

“Of course I do,” he answered as if he was offended, and left for the office.

At 10:00 a.m., the doorbell rang and when the woman opened the door, she was handed a box of a dozen long stemmed red roses. At 1:00 p.m., a foil-wrapped, two pound box of her favorite chocolates was delivered. Later, a boutique delivered a designer dress.

The woman couldn’t wait for her husband to come home.

“First the flowers, then the chocolates, and then the dress!” she explained.“I’ve never had a more wonderful Groundhog Day in my life!”
