I would love to hear how the "do unto others......" and "love your neighbor" fits into this.

None that I know of, however our Circuit Assemblies were held at the Masonic Temple in downtown Cleveland during the 50's. I guess they rented it out for other groups to use.

I was there in 58. I was 11. I remember taking the subway from our hotel. Coming back at night, scary, dark, late, with my grandmother. Someone threw a peach pit, at us? on the street? We were afraid and started running toward our hotel several blocks away. Did not go to the Polo Grounds, but stayed at the Stadium. I remember the long long line of portapots and drinking fountains.

Has anyone known of a person who has had a limb amputated? And then experienced what they call phantom pain?
I have seen this first hand and it is quite incredible. The person still feels pain, heat, cold, itching, etc. after the limb is gone.
I have also seen a "healing touch therapist" in the hospital message the absent limb and even go to a specific part of the missing limb that was itching to scratch it. The patient directed the therapist, lower, higher, left, right, until she found just the right spot to scratch. As she did, the patient responded, yes, that's it, Oh, it feels so good.
I was quite blown away. Any thoughts, comments, experiences?

What a great business move. They can collect a commission for the bookings, as well as create a tidy database of those who attend, along with their credit card numbers. Brilliant! Don't forget the comp'd rooms that come along with the large block reservations so that the speakers sent from NY get free rooms.

FIRST BORN
My son, my love, my beautiful little boy. My friend, my hero, my ultimate joy. My confidant, my companion, I the parent, yet he my teacher. How I adore his every feature. My world, my life, my moon, my star. Death can not separate us , from me he’ll never be far. This system we live in is but a temporary phase, And into his eyes, I will once again gaze. He came from my body, his flesh and blood, my own. His inner strength a mountainous rock, my precious, brilliant stone. A mother’s love for her son has no countable measure. The years we have shared have been my greatest treasure. With pain and great grief, I will somberly mourn, For nothing can take the place of my dearest first-born. (Written by my daughter to her dying son)

Today & Tomorrow
Sit with me my dear one, And let's enjoy today.
We can laugh and talk, And make-up games to play.
I am full of love for you through the eternity of tomorrows, Oh, how that adds to the bitterness of my sorrows.
I will kiss your sweet fingers when you are asleep, And hold your head to my breast while I close my eyes to weep.
I have you now, though tomorrow is gray, So sit with my my dear one and let's enjoy today.
Written by my daughter when her 12 year old son was dying of cancer.
