Happy Birthday to Thelma
Stutz pictured here with her
youngest great-granddaughter,
one-year-old Isabelle Stutz.
These two ladies were born
ninety-five years apart.
Just think of changes in the
world Thelma has seen in
her lifetime. She gets a kick
out of all the happenings we
have At The Barn which,
of course, is the barn of her
childhood. The wine tasting
area is where Thelma fed the
horses as a youngster. The
kitchen is where she helped
milk the cows. Every day,
rain or shine, and no matter
the season, the day was over
only when the chores were
finished. Please wish her
belated birthday wishes on
Facebook! She will love to
hear from you. Isabelle is the
daughter of David and Lisa
Stutz, granddaughter of Don
O
ur
and Debby Stutz, and greatgranddaughter
of Eugene and
Lois Schaich and of course
Thelma Stutz. Thanks to
Diane Vollner for sharing the
photo.
The calendar has now
turned to June, and we think
of Father’s Day. I want to
say Happy Father’s Day to
my dad, Eugene Schaich,
who has had many successes
and achievements in life.
Along with my mother Lois
Schaich, the most prominent
accomplishment is raising
five children who all learned
a high work ethic and dedication
to whatever you hope to
achieve, by his example. He
taught us to be proud of who
we are and always remember
from where we came.
I hope to see everyone at
the Bright Festival and Parade
the last weekend in July. What
will the Cornerstone Realty
float be themed this year? The
answer is the best-kept secret
in Bright during the month
of July. Cornerstone always
keeps us guessing until the
day of the parade. So much
time is put into the planning
and orchestration of the
parade and festival. Please say
thank you to a firefighter or
EMS person. They are genuinely
dedicated to serving our
Thelma Stutz and greatgranddaughter
Isabelle
Stutz.
CommunitiesHIDDEN
community. The Jody and
Karen Blasdel family, along
with Dale and Rachel Lutz’s
family, put a lot of time and
sweat into making the parade
the biggest one every year.
Remember to send in your
raffle tickets for the Festival.
Profits from this festival make
a HUGE impact on the budget
of the Bright Fire and EMS.
July Fourth is right around
the corner. Be proud of being
an American. It means so
much more than we think.
Abraham Lincoln said, “I
like to see people proud of
the place where they live.
I like to see people live, so
the place in which they live
is proud of them.” Take care
of each other and celebrate
America!

Summer is here!!!! Get out
and enjoy all of the amenities
that HVL has to offer! The
Children’s Activity Club will
hold its second outdoor movie
night on June 22. Movies start
at dusk. And the annual 4th of
July Bike Parade will begin
at 10 A.M. by the beach. The
Fish & Game Club will hold
their Kids Fishing Derby on
July 13 at Lake Melody (by
the main entrance) at 8 A.M.
Such a fantastic event!
HVL has lots of incredible
athletes living in our community.
One gentleman, Bryan
Wagner, just qualified for
the Boston Marathon as he
completed the 21st Annual
Flying Pig marathon! What an
incredible accomplishment!
He placed second overall in
the “4 Way Challenge With
Extra Cheese” which means
Bryan completed four different
races over the three-day
event: 1 mile, 5K, 10K, and
full marathon!! That is approximately
37 miles! And he
set his PR (personal record) in
all four events. Wow! Bryan
started running five years ago
Brynn, Bryan, Beckett, and
Sonny Wagner
at the age of thirty. Bryan and
Sonny have two daughters,
Beckett (age 5) and Brynn
(age 3) and a third daughter
due at the end of May. He’s
able to balance working full
time as the PE Teacher/Tech
Coordinator while still making
time for a family life and
fitness activities. You may
see Bryan running, biking,
and swimming all over HVL
along with his family in tow.
You’re a true inspiration,
Bryan Wagner!
