WE DON’T HAVE LOTS OF NEWS, BUT ENOUGH TO SHARE WITH ALL MEMBERS. AGAIN,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS.
1. FROM JOYCE KROEKER WE LEARN THAT ED HAS JUST HAD CATARACT SURGERY
AND IS SCHEDULED FOR THE OTHER EYE SURGERY SOON. WE AS A GROUP WITH ED
WELL.
2. DEBBIE GARRISON HAS SENT A MESSAGE REGARDING OUR LINDA LANINGHAM. IT
SEEMS THAT LINDA AWAKENED THE DAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING WITH A
DETACHED RETINA. THIS WAS VERY SCARY!! THE PHYSICIANS WERE ABLE TO DO
LASER SURGERY THE SAME DAY AND IT WAS SUCCESSFUL ENOGH THAT SHE DID
NOT HAVE TO HAVE MUCH MORE EXTENSIVE SURGERY. SO FAR SO GOOD AND
BECAUSE LINDA IS SUCH A TROOPER, SHE HAS NOT SLOWED DOWN TOO MUCH. SHE
WAS NOT ABLE TO HAVE THANKSGIVING WITH HER FAMIL BUT WAS ABLE TO CHAIR
HER GUILD LUNCHEON THIS PAST SATURDAY TO SUPPORT THE SELMA BETHEL
HOME. A LOT OF EFFORT AND WORK TO BE SURE CHUCK HAS ITCHED IN AND HAS
BECOME HER PILOT UNTIL SHE IS ABLE TO DRIVE. SO THIS HOLIDAY SEASON KEEP
GOOD THOUGHS FOR LINDA AND CHUCK, TOO.!
3. AND NOW SOME VERY GOOD NEWS FROM GLENN HENDERSON. AS OF OCTOBER30,
2015 GLENN IS RETIRED. HE SOLD THE SELF STORAGE BUSINESS AND IS NOW ABLE
TO DO WHATEVER HE WANTS (THIS IS IF LORRAINE SAYS IT IS O.K.!) HE HAS
PURCHASED A NEW CAR BUT IT IS NOT A CORVETTE. IT IS A 2016 MAZDA MX-5 CLUB
CONVERTIBLE. LOTS OF FUN TO DRIVE. GLENN HAS STARTED MEETING THE GUYS
FOR BEAKFAST AND THE MOVIES ON TUESDAYS, A FUN GROUP. LORRAINE IS
FLYING TO PALM SPRINGS NEXT MONTH WITH 4 OF HER SISTERS TO LAY BY THE
POOL. IT IS A GIRL TRIP. THE DAY AFTER SHE RETURNS HOME, GLENN AND
LORRAINE LEAVE FOR A 6 DAY TRIP WITH THE FIFTH WHEEL GROP TO CAMP IN THE
DESERT AT QUARTSIDE FOR THE RV SHOW AND SWAP MEET. IN FEBRUARY,
LORRAINE GOES ON A CRUISE WITH THE LADIES, MEN ARE NOT ALLOWED ON THIS
TRIP. GLENN IS NOT TOO SURE WHAT THEY WILL BE DOING, BUT HE ASKS NO
QUESTIONS.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND MAY YOUR HOLIDAYS AT THIS SPECIAL TIME BE FILLED
WITH HAPPINESS AND GOOD HEALTH. PROSPERITY WOULD BE GOOD TOO!!
