She had a son, Dick Bacon, but I do not know him or his status. And she had a daughter, my mother Marilyn Bacon Graff.<br \/>\nShe last I heard was helping out at an old folks home and she was around 100.<br \/>\nLast I knew of here was in 2004 or so. Unless she is over a hundred and ten I suspect she has died but my search of your records has turned up nothing.<br \/>\nThanks for any help you may be able to give.<br \/>\nKirk Graff <a href=\"mailto:islanddraft@gmail.com\">islanddraft@gmail.com<\/a><br \/>\nProvidenciales<br \/>\nTurks and Caicos Islands<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Obamacare is not the answer<\/strong><br \/>\nObamacare is already bringing the pain to individuals and businesses even before its full implementation.<br \/>\nPeople across America are either losing their jobs; getting their hours reduced to 29 or less a week and are often forced to work two part-time jobs because the writers of Obamacare wrote in provisions that will destroy the USA&#8217;s working poor and middle class employee.<br \/>\nMany business owners I&#8217;ve recently spoken with have had to reduce the hours of even their best employees due to the &#8220;Affordable Care Act&#8221; mandates. They are afraid to hire new workers and many have told me they would sell their business today but can&#8217;t find any takers because prospective buyers don&#8217;t want to start a business in such viciously unfriendly business environment.<br \/>\nDon&#8217;t be fooled. Nobody wins under Obamacare&#8211;especially not the working class American family that will now find it difficult, to nearly impossible to provide a home and future for their children.<br \/>\nThe Democrats never should have pushed Obamacare; the Republicans should have stood up for the USA and waged all out war to prevent its passage. Independently minded voter now sees through both parties responsibility for this travesty.<br \/>\nMichael Trebesh, CPA<br \/>\nBingham Township Treasurer <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking for Grandma and Obamacare is not the answer<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37253","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-letters"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37253","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37253"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37253\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37253"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37253"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37253"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
