Sorry I missed the column last week as I was in the hospital. Seems my blood count was low. I first went to Parkview emergency in Huntington where they discovered the problem but they didn’t have my blood on hand, as it is a weird type, so they transferred me to Parkview North where I stayed from Sunday evening until Thursday afternoon. After giving me blood and iron, they felt I was able to go home and now I am getting back to my regular routine. Thanks to all of you who visited and prayed for me. However, with all the tests, they did not find the source of the blood loss!
The Zanesville Community Church of God’s Coffee Cafe is still open every weekday morning for anyone to attend. The time is from 7:30 to 10 a.m. and the church is on Marzane Road.
You may have missed some of the Men’s Lenten Breakfasts but there is still one more on Saturday, March 23, at the Tower Life Center here in town. This will be the last one as Easter is March 31st.
Easter is really early this year and the Zanesville Lions have to get prepared for our big Easter Egg Hunt and Game Festival.

In case of bad weather, the hunt and games will be held the Saturday, March 30.

I have been wanting to take a short drive to the National Veterans Memorial Museum and Shrine on O’Day Road in Fort Wayne. My goal was to see the new monument of the Korean War. I remember when we were in Washington D.C. I was impressed with the soldier statues and now we have some right here in Fort Wayne.
I did not know, however, until reading the Senior Living that one of those is Zanesville’s own Gary Sink. Gary lives a mile west of town and he was seriously injured and left for dead. He was awarded the Purple Heart. The face on the statue of the soldier being helped is that of Gary! Assisting him to walk is PFC William Walters who was assigned to the 506 Motor Pool in Korea. Now I definitely want to see these statues in person. Pick up a Spring Senior Living and read the whole story.
