Johnson opened the New York World’s Fair.

Box 747 Hermiston, OR 97838 going to burst with joy. My days are precious to me now. For me, divorce has been an awakening. — Patricia In Massachusetts Dear Patricia: While divorce can be therapeutic, it isn’t the answer for everyone. Because you were married to an angry, abusive man, it’s for the best that you fi nally ended the marriage. I can’t help feeling that what you did was a positive step for both of you. Dear Abby: When we go to church with our daughters, ages 9 and 11, we are greeted at the door by an usher in his 70s. He has told our 9-year-old several times that he’s going to marry her when she grows up. She doesn’t know what to say. My husband and I don’t like it. What should we do? — Dumbstruck In The East Dear Dumbstruck: Tell the usher privately that his comment is not appreciated. Discuss it with the minister afterward, if necessary. Your daughter is a nice girl, but I wouldn’t blame her if she told him, “If you’re still alive and breathing by the time I’m grown up, I’ll consider it.”
