Chillicothe couple die four days apart after spending 80 years together
Chillicothe Gazette
CHILLICOTHE When Evelyn Ramsey was about 15 years old, a boy at school asked her to go to the movies. She said she would but only under the condition that her friend, Robert Bowers, come too.
It was 1943 and less than a year later, Evelyn and Robert began dating. Childhood friends who later became high school sweethearts, the couple spent 80 years together.
Evelyn passed away at home on New Year s Eve and just four days later, Robert died in the hospital. Some people in the family say it s a blessing that they went together, said Sam Bowers, one of the couple s sons. Of course it s hard to say goodbye to one. It s hard to say goodbye to both, but they ve been together for so long.

As someone who lives in California, this is extremely disturbing. I have friends with young children living in areas like Marin county, and they are understandably worried. Of course we already saw measles this year and an epidemic of pertussis (though the blame for that cannot be put only on non-vaccinating - we really need a better pertussis vaccine. But non-vaccinating doesn t help).
When it comes from a pediatrician, it s more natural for parents to believe this firmly. The harm done by Dr. Bob and Dr. Jay is very, very high.
