That dream, funded by their multimillion-dollar cassette and CD replication replica-tion company, led to the establishment of a family trust and the foundation for Preservation of Sight at the Southern California College of Optometry in Utah County's Exclusive Female Athletic Store! omm urn m usibak iieui: Expires 3-22-07 jitt. jfm Fork m 1 1 makes you look like a grape on a stick.

So, I'm ready to spend five days in a hotel with my grandkids. This is our special trip, the one we've taken every ev-ery year for the last five years. I baby sit while Mom and Dad go out to dinner every night, see friends, and yuk it up at an annual convention. We started this tradition five years ago and now it has become A TRADITION. A five-day period that is sacred sa-cred to my granddaughter and I. We have many secret ceremonies that accompany accom-pany this week. We go to a certain pizza place, we make ceramic plates at a certain ceramics place, and of course, that is what ev-we ev-we go to a certain place on eryone always says, "He Fulle'rton, California.

The fifth floor of the University of Southern South-ern California's new hospital hospi-tal will be named after him too.

However, the highlight of the week is Walking Down the Very Darkest Road In the Dark At Night. I don't know how we started start-ed doing this, but it scares the snot out of me. We walk down this dark road past a little neighborhood park and when we can't stand it anymore, we turn and run back up to the lighted main street. I'm always sure we're going to be killed by the boogie-man, but my granddaughter loves it. I hate the dark, I hate thinking think-ing I'm going to be killed, and even thinking about it, here, when I'm safe at home, makes me start to sweat. I guess that's why I'm a good grandma, I keep doing this stuff even though I'm pretty sure we might die. (Actually it is a very safe neighborhood, Other recipients of his generosity include The city of Hope, St. Jude Hospital, Hos-pital, The Institute for Eth-no-medicine at California State University- Fuller-ton, Fuller-ton, The American Cancer Society, and Alzheimer's groups. Because his wife suffered suf-fered from Alzheimer's in her later years, and because be-cause Childs cared for her in his home for 18 years before she died in 2002, he has a special understanding understand-ing of this disease. During World War II, Childs joined the Army at age 17. After he suffered an appendicitis attack, his unit left without him and he joined an entertainment troop playing the trombone trom-bone in an Army Band.

However, this year will be complicated by the addition ad-dition of a three-year old brother who has finally reached the age that he can no longer be pawned off on his mom as a baby. The logistics are going to be complicated-do we let Brother loose in a ceramics ceram-ics shop to maim the birds and dogs we plan to paint? Will he think our daring street adventure is stupid, or worse, will he cry? I'm sure there will be moments we will wish he would just go away, but we might as well initiate him early for the duration. My motto is the obvious one: A suitcase full of toys: $75; an entire bottle of Advil Ad-vil for the resulting aches and pains: $4; trying to be a good grandma: priceless.
