Honoring the Elderly by Patty LaRoche
An old geezer, bored in retirement, decided to open a medical clinic. He put a sign up outside that said, “Dr. Geezer’s clinic. Get your treatment for $500; if not cured, get back $1,000.”
Doctor Young, who was positive this old geezer didn’t know beans about medicine, thought this would be a great opportunity to get $1,000. So, he went to Dr. Geezer’s clinic.
Dr. Young: “Dr. Geezer, I have lost all taste in my mouth. Can you please help me?”
Dr. Geezer: “Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in Dr. Young’s mouth.”
Dr. Young: “Aaagh !!–This is Gasoline!”
Dr. Geezer: “Congratulations! You’ve got your taste back. That will be $500.”
An annoyed Dr. Young goes back after a couple of days, figuring to recover his money.
Dr. Young: “I have lost my memory; I cannot remember anything.”
Dr. Geezer: “Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient’s mouth.”
Dr. Young: “Oh, no you don’t, — that is Gasoline!”
Dr. Geezer: “Congratulations! You’ve got your memory back. That will be $500.”
Dr. Young (after having lost $1000) leaves angrily and comes back in a few days.
Dr. Young: “My eyesight has become weak — I can hardly see anything!!!!”
Dr. Geezer: “Well, I don’t have any medicine for that, so here’s your $1000 back” (giving him a $10 bill).
Dr. Young: “But this is only $10!”
Dr. Geezer: “Congratulations! You got your vision back! That will be $500.”
Moral of story — Just because you’re “Young” doesn’t mean that you can outsmart an “old Geezer.”
There are few nursing homes in Mexico. That’s because families make tremendous sacrifices to honor the elderly, keeping them in their homes to care for them until they die. Siblings and husband/wife teams work various shifts so that the aging parent is not left alone. Shopping centers and restaurants reveal the respect shown, as it is common to see children and grandchildren cradling the arms of their aged relatives, helping them out of the car and walking slowly to their destination. When the elders speak, everyone listens. Their wisdom is valued.
For 10 years, Jaime has worked as a bartender where we live in Mazatlán. His mother-in-law has lived with his family for 18 years. Every morning, he makes breakfast for her; they sit together and catch up on what is going on in each other’s life. Countless times, he has bowed out of morning invitations because of his “special time” with his wife’s mother. Mexicans believe that God expects them to appreciate the elderly. Scripture agrees:
Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” (1 Peter 5:5, ESV) Gray hair is a crown of glory; it is gained in a righteous life. (Prov. 16:31) Wisdom is with the aged, and understanding in length of days. (Job 12:12)
One story is played out in the book of Ruth when Naomi’s husband moved his family from Bethlehem to Moab where he died. Ten years later, their married, adult sons also died. Naomi opted to move back to her native country. Ruth, Naomi’s widowed daughter-in-law, insisted on accompanying her in spite of Naomi’s protests. In the end, the Moabite Ruth married the Bethlehemite Boaz, and, generations later, Jesus was born from that union.
I wish I would have done more for my mother before she died. I certainly had opportunities to do so. I pray you do better than I did…before it’s too late.

Diehl, Banwart, Bolton, CPA’s, Celebrate 75h Anniversary
In 2024, Diehl Banwart Bolton CPAs PA is celebrating 75 years of service to the community.
At the Fort Scott Chamber of Commerce Coffee on September 12, James Wood, one of the partners in the firm, said they have had a “long history” in the community because of the “great leadership, amazing team, and this community and everything that goes on in it.”
The business is a full-service accounting firm located in Fort Scott and Pittsburg,
They help both businesses and individuals succeed financially through accounting services, with expert, professional and confidential service, according to their website.
The business story begins just after the Second World War.
John Diehl came to Fort Scott in 1948 with his wife Ina Mae, after serving in the United States Marines as a pilot in World War II.
He worked for the Winchell Manufacturing Company, and soon after, opened an accounting office in Fort Scott for a Kansas City firm of Senderson, Little, and LaChelle, according to James Banwart Jr., who is currently a partner in the business.
In 1949, Diehl purchased the business and renamed it John E. Diehl and Company.
Maurice Fletcher later joined the firm and it was renamed Diehl and Fletcher. The company was located in several buildings
in what is now the Fort Scott Downtown Historic District.
In the Fall of 1963, James L. Banwart Sr. joined Diehl and Fletcher.
James Regan, the long-time Information Technology “guru”,
joined the firm in 1971.
In 1973, Mark Bolton joined Diehl and Fletcher and in 1976, the firm became Diehl, Banwart, Bolton, CPA’s.
The firm’s shareholders purchased the Milrose Block at
Wall and National in 1974 where the business continues today.
Mr. Diehl died in 2017 at age 99.
“He was an involved member of church and community and a loved and respected employer and partner.” James Banwart Jr. said.
Currently, there are five partners, James L Banwart Jr., Daryl Eagon, Amanda Lancaster, Matthew Keys, and James Wood.
“CPAs Randy Phillips, Carol Hill, and Donna Banwart round out the list of supervising accountants and we have 10 staff accountants doing IT, payroll, accounts payable, and other client service,” Banwart said.
The business currently has offices in Fort Scott and Pittsburg and “are always on the lookout for additional talented people,” Banwart said.
The firm offers municipal and commercial auditing, preparation of general ledger and financial statements, payroll, estate planning, tax planning, income tax, retirement planning, business analysis
and coaching, and assisting clients with Accounting CS, Quickbooks, and other software.
“Not many small businesses survive and thrive for 75 years,” Banwart said. ” But because John Diehl founded the firm on the
principles of integrity and prompt client service and we strive to uphold his high standards in the present, we plan on being a member of the Fort Scott business community for a long time to come. He
would be pleased to know his firm continues his traditions.”
The business is located at 7 1/2 East Wall, in Fort Scott’s Historic Downtown. They can be reached at 620-223-4300.
