Hello, my name is Ronnie Dee and I am an 86 year old widower. I have had a number of misadventures in my life, and my friend Jim has been urging me to send something to you, so I did. 
Although I worked at the Courier-Journal newspaper in Louisville, music was my avocation. I played the banjo and autoharp and did a solo act for ten years before forming a folk group with Jim Cowles and another friend, Ed Adams,  for another twenty. I still like to sing but don't perform anymore.

But you see, before that I ran very nearly every night of my life for forty years, often until 4:00 or 5:00 am. and now, I just hate going anywhere. I am perfectly content to stay home. I am never bored. I am sad that my sweet Suzie is gone, and the dogs are gone, but I still have sports and movies on TV, the computer, my musical instruments, my writing, plenty of books, music to listen to and crossword puzzles. I also like to cook and I still have that "wonderful nation," my imagination to entertain me. I also have a house to keep reasonably clean, so I don't have time to get bored. Life is a full time job.
