13-year-old Hannajwonnelly recently donated
14 inches of hair tp-Locks of Love, an organization
that provides hair prosthetics for children with
long-term medical hair loss.
The sixth-grader at Barbers Hill was inspired by
her cousin a few years ago when she donated her
hair, and, according to her mother Genny, immedi-
ately “wanted to grow her hair out and do that
too.”
It took Hannah three years, but she ended up
with four more inches than required by Locks of
Love to donate. Hannah said she plans to grow
her hair out and once again, and donate to the
organization. — Danielle Lynch

Like most men, I wear a
shirt during the day. I also
wear pants, shoes and other
items of clothing, but these are
not the focus of this article, so
will not be mentioned further.
Most men’s shirts have at least
one pocket. For many years, I
have carried four items in my
shirt pocket, as follows:
• Mechanical pencil with
eraser
• Ballpoint pen
• 3-inch by 5-inch notepad
• 6-inch/15mm stainless
steel ruler with pocket clip
Having these items conve-
niently at hand has proven use-
ful on many occasions.
Sometimes it has avoided
major frustration.
For example, back in 1984,
my wife and 1 were driving
home from the July 4th fire-
works display, with a load of
children in the back of my
International Scout. We
stopped behind a line of cars
on East Texas Avenue, waiting
for the traffic light at
Alexander Drive to turn green.
The car behind us did not stop,
and rammed us from the rear.
We were shaken up, but
nobody was hurt. The front
end of the car was damaged
more than the rear of my
Scout. 1 got out. intending to
exchange information with the
other driver. I was unable to do
so, however, because he
backed up and promptly drove
away (1 suspect to avoid a
: sobriety test). 1 had. however.. '
- copied his license plate num-
ber. When a policeman came
shortly thereafter, I gave him
the number. A pedestrian wit-
ness was kind enough to con-
firm the circumstances I
described to the policeman.
As it turned out. the other
driver was from Galena Park.
Through the efforts of Sgt.
Liles, then of the Baytown
Police Department, the other
driver was persuaded to deliv-
er several hundred dollars
repair reimbursement to my
insurance adjuster, who gave
it to me.
More frequent uses for the
notepad include making gro-
cery lists and copying direc-
tions received from others
rather than trying to remember
them. When I ’m introduced to
someone, I often write down
his or her correctly spelled"
name before 1 forget it — an
increasing necessity as I get
older. Sometimes I get an idea
’I want to remember so I can
pursue it later. By noting it
briefly at that time, 1 need not
burden my memory or be frus-
trated by having solved a prob-
lem and then forgotten the
solution.
Sometimes “a picture is
worth a thousand words.”
Years ago, right after getting
married in Aruba where we
lived and workeil my new
wife and I left in my plane for
Puerto Rico. Our route includ-
ed Curacao, Venezuela,
Trinidad and the eastern
Caribbean island chain. Along
the Venezuelan north coast, the
Old Stinson’s auxiliary tank
fuel transfer pump failed. We
barely made it into Barcelona,
Venezuela using the fuel in the
wing tanks. We refueled there
and continued to Trinidad
where we stopped for the
night. I found that gasoline
from the left wing tank was
slowly leaking back through
the failed pump vent line. I
needed to clamp the transfer
hose shut to stop the leak. 1
hired a taxi and told the driver
to go to a hardware store. He
took me to the closest equiva-
lent in the small town near the
airport. I asked the clerk for a
