Leroi Bradshaw
I've been meaning to call Jim "The Hat" wife Leroi for several week now and finally got around to it today.
At first I was stunned to hear Jim himself answer the phone. Wow!! How wonderful that was to hear his voice again. I thought I had dialed his old business number or old house phone. I called Lt1 to get her number because I don't know what I did with it. Well it was correct and Leroi had the phone company switch it over to her phone. On the call back she picked it up immediately before the recording came on to leave a message and I caught her just getting out of the shower however she wanted to talk right away.
For all those that met and knew Leroi I can report she is doing very well and is sharp as a tack. She has her own apartment and they bring meals to her. She is social distancing and has a big 65 inch TV that she enjoys watching.
She told me shortly after arriving there 11 years ago the Doctor there changed her medication and her mind became sharper that it ever was. The Doctor also did a bone density scan and told her that her bones were real good. Leroi replied; " I know my bones are good it just that the caulking gave out." She has had some knee replacements etc. That got my funny bone going and we both had a good laugh.
Leroi is not in need of anything. She does to get to go outside now and then. Leroi said the other day the breeze and air was so wonderful against her face. I told her we take the simple things for granted and greatly appreciate their return, after an absence the heart does grow fonder.
We can all appreciate the folks we have met traveling the roads and highways of Doc Sartin, Jim Bradshaw and Bill Varone. Forever grateful our roads have intersected. Leroi is a very special lady to come our way,and I have always found that the women behind the successful men are really the unsung hero's. What a wonderful Lady Leroi is,always upbeat and such a pleasure to be in contact with or near.
