     Miss U said, “With so 
     much of  Fred’s own 
     words from his journals, 
     this turns into an

     places. 
     A wonderful job of 
     reporting.”

AT LAST! - WORRIES WON'T HAPPEN - FRED'S STORY

At Last!  The Proof copy of my book – “Worries Won’t Happen - Fred’s Story” -- will be in my eager hands on Nov. 12^th. As soon as I check it, then Amazon can release it for the world to read. 

This first half of Fred Cheshire’s biography gives his story until the day of the disastrous swimming accident.  The next book – “There’s Nothing I Can’t Do” – begins with the dive that broke his neck and how he adjusted to find a fulfilling life and happiness. 

It took a year and seven days to write Worries Won’t Happen.   It took a lot of digging through files and pictures.  It took a lot of people kind enough to help me with their stories about Fred.  Now I’m eagerly waiting.

More good news:  There will be two $250 Dr. Fred Cheshire Scholarships awarded in January at Glendale Community College, thanks to all of you who have helped out on his Scholarship fund.  This fund will continue to grow and more Scholarships awarded in future semesters. 

I hope to send out an update on Worries Won’t Happen in about two weeks. 

Hugs and blessings to all, Mariam

What a Difference a Year Makes

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A YEAR MAKES 

A sad birthday?  Well, it’s sure a heck of a lot different than my 90^th. 

Last year I had considered a parachute jump.  However, I couldn’t convince my son that I would come down to the ground in one piece.  Fred made me an offer.  “You want to fly a Cub once more so find one and I’ll pay for it.”  I did and he paid for a day that took me back seventy years.  At the time I thought, “It can’t get any better than this.”  I hate to tell you that I was right. 

I write this in physical pain – lots of it.  On July 3^rd, Dr. Jackson sliced a four inch opening in my back and performed:  “Laminectomy with facetectomy-lumbar spine surgery.”  He cut away ‘lamina’ (bony stuff) pressing against the nerves.  Then he placed a four piece cage around the area to stabilize the spine. 

This had been put off for quite a few months.  Other procedures – epidurals and acupuncture -- had been tried and didn’t work.  Opiates are a dirty word nowadays so we won’t talk about any trials there.  When the hurt reached the point that walking became agony, a more drastic action had to be taken.

Dr. Jackson told me that this is one of the worst surgeries for having pain afterwards.  But I didn’t listen.  I told him, “Quit talking about my age.  A month after surgery I’m going to be out walking five miles a day.”  He said, “You won’t be out of the house by then.”  Well . . . the month has come and gone with practice walks up and down the hall.  And today – finally – I opened the front door and made a fifteen minute walker-push around the block.

So, it’s going to take a little time to conquer a hole in my back.  Wait and see – by the 92^nd birthday, I’ll be back to five miles.

If only it were as easy to put a cage around a hole in the heart.  I try to stabilize the hurt that lives there with actions that remember Fred.  When the fall session of Glendale College opens, there will be two scholarships awarded to students Fred would have been teaching.  His biography, up to the time of his diving accident, still needs editing and finishing the cover.

 My goal:  “Worries Won’t Happen – Fred’s Story” will be available on Amazon and Kindle before September 22^nd, a year from the date Fred left us.   The second book, “There’s Nothing I Can’t do,” begins with the day Fred took a dive into a pool and came out to a new life as a quadriplegic.

Will this book be finished by my 92^nd birthday?  Sure – like my kid said – I can do anything.  I am looking forward to talking to many of you for help about this part of his life.  The publication on August 11^th, 2019 will be my birthday present to me. 

The holes in my back and the holes in my heart remain a part of my life.  As do the speckles of sunshine that have given help throughout the last year.  Magaly is my special “Summer Star” as well as all the other months of the year.   When needed – even when I didn’t realize the need – brightness with names like Nancy and Alice appeared to get me over the rough spots.  Willing names like  Dorothy and Ursula and Amanda came through the door to provide constant encouragement.   Stand-by  names like Chris and Sybil were only a whisper away.   And names that meant back-up and support could fill up a page. 

                                     

From Fred - Happy 91^st Birthday, madre

PROGRESS REPORT on Biography for FRED CHESHIRE

PROGRESS  REPORT  on  Biography for FRED  CHESHIRE

  I’m excited!  The archery kids – the computer kids – those who hated math and loved the income tax drills – are sending stories about Mr. Cheshire, their favorite coach and teacher.

  Fred’s biography will be divided into two books --- The first part, including the fantastic messages from his students, will take place from his early life to the day of the accident.  I’m still debating which title is more appropriate - “Fred’s Story” or “Worries Never Happen”.  The publication date is several months away.  I’m hoping for more pictures and there is still a ton of editing to do. 

   Then it will be time for serious get-down-to-business for the next book - “There’s Nothing I Can’t Do,” – where the story starts with that change-of-life day June 7, 1977. 

   If Fred added something to your life during these years, please let me know at Mimar102@cox.net.

SCHOLARSHIP  FUND

We reached our goal!  Scholarships will be awarded this fall to two Glendale College students who need help in the English language with their studies.  These are the students that Fred tutored in the years before his life was cut short.  The $10,000.00 seed money is continuing to grow and making money for future scholarships.  Because of the contributions of so many good people the Dr. Fred Cheshire Scholarships will continue as long as there are learning institutions and students who need help. 

DRAGAAN  PRINCESS

“The Lifes and Loves of Myrt-ty-Ky-Ly Dragaan Princess” will still be available on Kindle and Amazon (preview www.taswos.com)  but I’ve put her on the back burner for marketing.   Very little feedback has come through for the story of Louey and her good friend, the Dragaan Princess.  I haven’t figured out if: (1) you don’t have the time or money to buy it; (2) you’ve been postponing telling me how much you enjoyed it; or (3) or you haven’t figured out why I wrote it.

WHAT’S AROUND THE CORNER?

Vacation time – ten days with bestest sister Nancy – meant talking about ‘what is to come.’ The scary age of NINETY-ONE is creeping up on me very quickly.  Will the pain doctors give relief if the knife is used?  Or do I have to accept and adjust?  Will I need to leave my wonderful sunshiny Phoenix patio for the rainy day comfort of Beaumont?  Stay tuned to this station for next year’s installment of “Living Life to the Fullest.”

  Until my next Blog . . . Stay happy.

DRAGAAN PRINCESS is now on Kindle

I’M CLOSING THIS CHAPTER – CHECK KINDLE

MYRT-TY-KY-LY DRAGAAN PRINCESS  is out there for you to read on Kindle.  The first page is blank.  There are still two typos that I know of.  If you find more, I’d be glad to hear about them as I hope to do a re-issue. 

If you want to write a review on Kindle or Amazon, I would like that even if you didn’t mark five stars.  This story tells about a period in our history.  You may not be interested in the 1930s, ‘40’s, ‘50s.   On the other hand you might enjoy my style of reality writing.  Either way, I’m glad you spent a bit of your time in my world. 

For now, I’m putting my first two books and my web site to one side.  www.taswos.com is not the same format as two months ago.  GoDaddy made some changes, I had to adjust and lost my published stories.  It took trial and error for this slow-poke to present my Books, Blogs and Life in a short paced manner.  Go look at it for further information.

NEXT CHAPTER

 

Fred’s bio, “There’s Nothing I Can’t Do,” will be getting 100% of my attention.  I’ve collected a few more pictures and a few more ‘incidents.’ (understatement!)

I’m looking for stories to augment what I’ve found so far.  Does anyone remember 1986 and Phoenix College followed by ASU and marriage?  Were you around when he began teaching at Royal Palm in 1971?    Every anecdote helps to tell about Fred as a person instead of just showing dates.   Write me a note and let’s talk about Fred Cheshire.
