[Magdalen] Scalia and his health

[Lynn Ronkainen]

...remembering my maternal grandmother after my aunt (her 2nd eldest 
daughter) got on an Adele Davis kick  (Vitamin maven of the USA at the time) 
in the late 1960s .... my aunt supplied my grandmother with vitamins and 
minerals (which had changed *her* life) to the extent that they were truly a 
pile on the table, taken at lunch. My grandmother would reach out her small 
hand, take a handful, swallow with water, and then another handful, and 
repeat, until they were all gone. I remember thinking how pitiful it 
seemed.... however, either hardy stock (for sure) or the vitamins or both, 
but my grandmother lived until she was 96. No heart problems. She did have a 
stroke at age 75 which she recovered from with a slight limp.  I should be 
so healthy. : )

single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything You gave me."
