Virginia Weithman's interaction with Don M. Stockbauer
My interaction with Virginia "Ginny" Weithman as told by Don M. Stockbauer
Virginia ( nicknamed Ginny) Weithman met my sister Bette at Father Beiting's Appalachian Center to aid victims of black lung , then later they they were in New York City as resistance against the Vietnam war . Then they came to Victoria, Texas where I met Virginia . I was a high school senior, Virginia was eight years older than me . We hit it off well. Jenny was an English major,
I remember her talking about novels such as Vonnegut's The Sirens of Titan and I kept saying the plot is impossible, she would say it's just artistic expression. The summer after my senior year in 1971 she and I drove to her hometown Tiffin, Ohio .and met her family.
I lost track of her for many years until she phoned me from Austin, TX in 1978. We visited and I lost track of her again until Reagan was elected . We talked by phone, she was liberal and she said she was so afraid of Reagan she just wanted to hide out during his Presidency. The next I heard about her was from my sister , one of Ginny's sisters wrote her that Virginia had died of breast cancer , that she didn't seek proper medical attention for it , she put her faith in God. Ginny was eight years older than me and I was just a high school senior , if we had been equal in age I've always thought that a romantic relationship could have developed.
Ginny was the gentlest, most loving soul I've met so far on this planet.
With the exception of my mother.
