The cache container is a pill bottle, different from what you
have seen before. It is soft, and you squeeze the sides to pop the
top. It originally contained doggie
downers.
There is a lot of cover at the cache location. The posted
coordinates may not be great. If you have trouble with the posted
coordinates, here are some alternate coordinates that I grabbed at
a spot with a little more sky - N39 51.310, W084 16.045. Go to that
spot, and the cache is located about forty feet west from that
spot.
Father Frank lives in Dayton. He is 91 years old.
He is a retired Catholic priest. I'm assuming that Catholic priests
retire. I guess I really don't know.
He walks with a cane. Kinda slow, as you would expect. He is smart
and likes to talk. A funny thing is, if he is walking along and he
starts talking, then he will stop walking. And as long as he is
talking, he'll just stand there. When he stops talking, then he'll
start walking again.
His body is now weaker than it used to be. His mind is sharp. And
he goes to the gym every week to move his body. He likes to play
horseshoes. It is clear that he loves life.
Father Frank has no family in the area. He needs help to get around
and do the things he needs to do. For that help, he depends on
friends. He depends on people who care about people.
It is important to help people. You know, beauty comes from within,
from who you are. The need to help people, the desire to help
people, caring for people and giving them a helping hand, that is
so unselfish. It is so real.
I think that compassion and kindness are really beautiful things in
a person.
We all need each other. We really do.
There are a lot of people in this world, I think, who spend all
their energy looking out for number one. And there are also a lot
of people who give.
We only live once in this world, as far as I know. Being kind and
helping people won't bring you a paycheck. It won't solve your
problems. But it will help your heart grow. And your kindness will
be beautiful.
