One thought on “The John Hancock Building”

  1. Hello John Braseth: You probably don’t remember me. you were a very young boy when Eric Visser was a friend whose dad took as many kids swimming as could fit in our station wagon. Some times we got ice cream from Husky delicatessen or Herfy hamburgers. You had tea from my collection of china cups and saucers that cost 25 cents then but much more now that thrift stores are not very thrifty now.
    I DIDN’T PLAN ON LIVINGS SO LONG AS 93 years and getting diagnosed with Parkinson symptoms and living in Merrill Gardens where the rent is 10,000 dollars a month and the food is not even close to being decent.

    My life story has been a literal shocking experience in the 40 years since 1984. but everything that I have been so shocked at in my life is happening to everyone that is a mystery at least it seems it is less mysterious now.

    You look handsome and smart.
