Biden Supporters Richard Grayson and Daniel Grayson are quoted in Dagens Nyheter article, "Äldre i Sun City välkomnar Biden till pensionärsparadiset"

Dagens Nyheter, Sweden's largest morning newspaper, has an article by Bjorn af Kleen published today, Wednesday, February 14, 2024, "Äldre i Sun City välkomnar Biden till pensionärsparadiset,that quotes Richard Grayson as saying he would support Joe Biden's reelection even if the President were on a ventilator and his 97-year-old father as saying that he would vote for a dog against Donald Trump.
Demokraten Richard Grayson i Apache Junction är faktiskt från Brooklyn, New York. Males bor tillfälligt i Arizona för att ta hand om sin 97-årige far.
Den här söndagsmorgonen är pappa Daniel rasande på New York Instances, som vidarebefordrade resultaten från ännu en undersökning som bekräftar att cirka 7 av 10 amerikaner oroar sig för Bidens ålder. Presidenten för gammal?! Ganska behagligt diskret! protestera far och son Grayson. Den första mandatperiodens triumfer – ny infrastruktur, ett historiskt klimatpaket, en börs som går som ett tåg – talar för sig själva. Until skillnad från Trump behöver Biden inte skramla med tomma tunnor. – Jag skulle rösta på en hund som kandiderar mot Trump, säger 97-årige Daniel Grayson.

Google translate:
I would vote for Joe Biden even if he was on a ventilator, says 73-year-old university librarian Richard Grayson. He lives in Apache Junction, east of Phoenix, in a neighborhood so heavily Republican that two of the neighbors have flown flags at half-staff every day since Joe Biden took office on January 20, 2021. Democratic voters are in the minority in Apache Junction, but those who hold out are almost as devoted to their party as their Republican neighbors are to theirs. "Vote Blue No Matter Who" - vote blue no matter who - signs an ally until the Grayson family. Apache Junction Democrat Richard Grayson is actually from Brooklyn, New York, but lives temporarily in Arizona to take care of his 97-year-old father. This Sunday morning, Father Daniel is furious at New York Instances, which relayed the results of yet another poll confirming that about 7 in 10 Americans worry about Biden's age. The president too old?! Quite pleasantly discreet! protest father and son Grayson. The triumphs of the first term – new infrastructure, a historic climate package, a stock market that runs like a train – speak for themselves. Unlike Trump, Biden does not need to rattle off empty barrels. - I would vote for a dog running against Trump, says 97-year-old Daniel Grayson.

Early Saturday Evening at the Apache Junction Health Center: Our Mom and Dad on their 62nd Wedding Anniversary



Sixty-two years ago today, on the Saturday evening of Memorial Day weekend, May 28, 1949 at the Park Manor on Eastern Parkway and Rogers Avenue (now the First Baptist Church of Crown Heights),

our parents were married.

They met several years before that. Here are our mom and dad at the bungalows of Rockaway Beach, September 4, 1946, on Labor Day weekend.

We always remember them being so glamorous, as in this photo from our middle brother's bar mitzvah in January 1968 (when we were a senior at Midwood High School)

or as in these pics we took in 1970 when we were a 19yo college sophomore:


As he has done for the last nine months, our dad went twice today to the Apache Junction Health Center to spoon-feed our mom, who's had Alzheimer's disease for many years, both breakfast and dinner.

It is inspiring and beautiful to see them still together.

We've been accompanying our dad every morning and evening since we got here, and in the evenings we're usually joined by one of our brothers. Our middle brother was here in the morning

and this evening our youngest brother arrived

with his girlfriend, and after dinner,

we went out, as we usually do, to the pretty garden courtyard after our mom has finished her (puréed) meal.

Recently we came across a little memo pad that had notes we made from listening to a talk at Changing Hands Bookstore a few years ago (so we could blog about it). In riffling through the pages, we found this. We must have asked Mom to write something to see if she could still write. She lost that ability, along with many others, years ago, but we're all very grateful that she's still with us.
