We start off this month with news from Debby and Terry Anderson with news from China. Their oldest
son and his wife gave them their 6 th grandchild. A little boy named Charlie Terry Anderson born on 03/25
and weighing in at 8 lbs. 8 ozs. In China that’s a big baby! Congrats to all.
It took 3 months but our Ed Kroeker is finally home! Joyce said he has had his fill of hospitals. He’s still
weak and has difficulty walking. Home health care will be coming in 3 days a week to run him through
his paces and help with showers. She said even her cooking is better than what he has been eating
during all this time. The entire family moved the Easter festivities to Ed & Joyce’s house. Joyce said it
was wonderful to have everyone there to share the special day with them. Still going to be a journey to
get him stronger but they will be taking it one day at a time. Every day is a gift!
More good news for our dear Ruthie Danielsen, she was moved to Willow Creek Rehab and is getting
better and stronger every day. She is now able to sit up on the side of the bed. Still has a way to go but
has hopes that she will be strong enough to join us in May for the Tahoe Run. Please keep both Ed and
Ruthie in your prayers.
Roy Whitson had the lymph nodes removed from under his arm last week, is doing well and the good
news is that the cancer had not spread.
Sue Rose has pneumonia and been in bed for the last week. Sue said she is starting to feel better and
stronger every day. She did say Fred has been a very good nurse.
Our prospective member Juan Gonzalez’s daughter had a cancer scare; she has had surgery and is
feeling better. Juan is working in Washington and his wife has been in San Diego with their daughter.
Said he will see us all next month.
Freida had a medical scare earlier this month, she found a lump in her stomach, went to the doctor and
he sent her for tests and then a scan. Thankfully it was just a hernia and she will be seeing a surgeon
when she gets back from their Panama Canal Cruise.
Chuck and Linda Laningham left yesterday for a month long RV trip. They will be going through Texas to
visit friends and ending up in Georgia to see their granddaughter Janae and their 2 Great-grandchildren.
Dale and Sue Comer are leaving on a 5 week cross country car trip with Jim and Lynne Agar returning in
June. They will be traveling across the southern US through Savannah, Florida, Blue Ridge Park Way and
returning via Michigan and South Dakota. Sorry to miss all the fun activities in May.
Terry Johnson sent me a little note about the Good Luck they had on Friday 4/7. Some of our Corvette
members (the Johnsons, Hansens, Pflepsons and Susan Walker) got together at the Belmont Golf Course
for dinner and bingo. They had a lot of “Luck” at their table. They won 5 of 7 Bingo games!! Dick Johnson
won 2 prizes, walked away with $120.00 and then a free dinner and Bingo for 2 for the next time. Of
course they couldn’t understand why the crowd called “Foul”, just because the Bingo caller was our own
Gary Pflepsen. Your Sunshine Girl, Debbie G.
