Th e cause of death was prostate cancer, a disease he had researched and fought successfully for more than 16 years. He was born at home in Haverford, Pennsylvania on December 29, 1919 to Edith and Philip Triest Sharples. A plain speaking member of the religious society of Friends (Quaker), with a lively sense of humor and penchant for high speed, classic race boats and cars, he came from a Quaker family that emigrated from England to America in 1682 with William Penn. As child he attended the Friends School Haverford, Th e Episcopal Academy, and Saint George’s Boarding school. He graduated from Harvard in 1942 and served as a Naval lieutenant in World War II. He ran his own company, Sunday January 18,2009 Today the Obamas threw a party for America in front of the Lincoln Memorial, 400,000 Americans took up the invite and enjoyed some of the best musical entertainment the country could off er. A vast sea of humanity attended from all walks of life, the day was brisk and cold 27 degrees, many arrived early and were dressed appropriately. All were jubilant and up for a good time. It was if we were all teenagers who for the last eight years were visiting with a dull, creepy uninspired cousin who was a complete downer and so straight laced he didn’t have a clue as to how to throw a cool party. Garth Brooks’ rendition of “we shall be free”, brought all 400,000 of us to our feet releasing all the pent up frustration disappointment and tension that the last eight years had built up. It was a great party. Tuesday January 20, 2009 America returned the favor today by throwing the biggest party ever thrown in this country, an estimated 2 million people turned up for the inauguration of our 44th MONDAY - FRIDAY 8 am - 5 pm SAT 10 am - 5 pm Give the gift of the Southwest Well known since 1943 for our many brands of fine chili products, sauces and spices. Gourmet Spices • Cookbooks • Gift Ideas Visit our Ranch Museum 3 Miles South of Tubac. (Just south of Tumacacori National Monument.) Closed Sundays & Holidays L E T T E R S Th e 44th United States Presidential Inauguration Franklin Electronics, where he developed the fi rst high speed printer. Th e machine received publicity for printing the fi rst images of Mars sent back by the Mariner 4 probe. Philip Sharples was a lifelong yachting and boat racing enthusiast who set a world’s record in the boat Bombita in 1947. He continued to participate in antique boat and car racing up to 2007. He is survived by a son, Philip Hathaway Sharples, by his fi rst wife and three children by Grace Felt Russell (deceased), Martha Brinton Sharples, Grace Sharples Cooke and Russell Price Sharples. He is also survived by his wife, Joanna Corrigan, and two former wives Jane Loew Sharples and Georgiana Pratt. He has seven grandchildren; Nathan Sharples, David Sharples, William Sharples, Caroline Daniels, Allston Daniels, Todd Cooke and Philip Cooke. President, over a billion saw the event around the world. Th e entire planet sends messages of hope and goodwill. Everyone wanted a glimpse of this young, vital, sexy American who promised change and hope. Many claimed it was the most diverse crowd ever to assemble, many tears were shed, words like “amazing”, “incredible”, “historic” were uttered, “thanks to god,” many were swept away with joy, and enthusiasm, “a glorious new beginning”; a time to remember America for the better once again. Accolades poured in from around the world, “Let the remaking of America begin”. How many many black women “put on the dog” as they say struck me. PETA was no where to be found as a vast array of fur was promantley displayed. Sable, mink, chinchilla and other varieties were worn with ethnic pride, and let’s not forget the “hat”, when Aretha Franklin emerged to sing “My country tis of thee”, the crowd roared with approval of her amazing hat, not even the queen noted for her headgear could compete with this extravaganza! President Obama, President Obama, just saying those words is thrilling. President Obama’s speech was sobering, honest, and truth telling to all of us for a change, for too long we have been given half truths, deceptions, and out right lies from our president. Th is new administration began its fi rst day with truth telling. Th e call for common purpose, personal responsibility, and the notion that “we are all in this together”, we are one, we are all Americans, time for the bickering and partisanship to end, we have hard work to do, it will take all of us to get the job done. Mutual self interest and mutual respect was the clear message of the speech, to our adversaries he was clear that we wanted to establish a new way of doing business thru diplomacy rather than thru war, his fi rst executive order was to close down Guantanamo. It is good to have our country back again, God Bless America. Mike Taylor, Tubac, AZ ThinkBob.com Digital Photography Web Site Design Print Services Page Layout Bob Wood 520•762•0447 Bob@ThinkBob.com
y Carol E. St. John While I listened I did not hear Madoff apologize, Or Skillings or Ken Lay either, Nor a grand farewell from Cheney’s sneering lips His pockets stuff ed with Halliburton loot. I did not hear Henry Paulson’s truth or “W”s lame excuses. I only heard the silence of 4,000 men, the tears of their children, And saw Cindy Sheehan shift slightly from her fetal position As she considered her son and his sacrifi ce. I watched breathlessly while the crowd Multiplied along the mighty Mall Like a tide pulled up by joy, glittering in the sun Warmed by sheer numbers breathing life into the frost Waving tiny fl ags of hope their hearts fl uttering side by side Celebrating a revolution of colors blending and a hero shared. Yes, America sang today. It was a new song.
