Panagiota Romios Date: 5/25/2022 4:53:00 PM Beautiful! Pangie Login to Reply Paul Callus Date: 7/29/2022 2:58:00 AM I understand your situation, Pangie, but within you are a woman of strength; never give up. Take care...paul Panagiota Romios Date: 7/7/2022 3:07:00 AM Paul, I completed months of therapy a month or so ago. Miraculous, I can walk at all. A walker is a must…the newer ones, rollators, are quite sturdy. Have slowed down online, quite a bit. I tire easily. Paul Callus Date: 7/7/2022 1:35:00 AM Thank you, Pangie. Hope you are keeping well, my friend. Regards // paul

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 5/5/2022 1:30:00 PM Hi Paul, hope our pauper finds and reads this write, could change his life to see the light. What a beautiful Monoku! My father retired as Chairman of a Company first started by a gentleman from Malta - his name was John Sherry. Hugs, warm regards and blessings, Jennifer. Login to Reply Jennifer Proxenos Date: 6/4/2022 11:09:00 PM It was called JASCO Electronics, and then my father was MD of a another branch of Jasco, named SPECIAL CABLES, retired at 65 as Chairman of Special Cables and joined my business Proto personnel, which is still alive and kicking-think it is time to sell, we are running the business ourselves now, after the Covid Disaster from home. Proto spans almost 4 decades. Hugs, warm re and blessings Jennifer. Paul Callus Date: 5/6/2022 12:06:00 PM Thank you for yet again another pleasant visit, Jenny. Thank you for reading and liking. ~ What a coincidence that your father worked for a Maltese established Company! The surname Sherry would probably have originally been written Scerri or Xerri. Wonder what the name of the Company was! ~ Warm regards & hugs // paul
