By Rick Whitaker| Illumination Verified Dear Ohio:Thank you, first, for accommodating my birth way back in April 1968 when my mom was a young 23, mother already of one little girl, my half- sister, then two years old, in a little town with the prettiest of your town's many misleading names, Bellefontaine. With her butch new husband far away in Korea, in the US Air Force, Mom was not having an easy time - she had a painful case of shingles - and even when she recovered, she once told me, she was "too young" to breastfeed me.
