Hi Everyone!

 

 

We regret that we failed to stay in touch as much as we should have for the past month, but fortunately we have finally arrived at our new home, and have set up our computers, telephone and new address for anyone desiring to call, E Mail, or mail us a letter.

 

 

Please understand; the change to the Veterans retirement home at King, Wisc. was not the easiest of moves, but hopefully it will prove to be a good one.We have found King to be a pleasant and busy place, filled with many kinds of activities to enjoy right here on the campus.For instance; we have our own bowling alley, movies theatre,coffee shop, a little bar, exercise rooms and fishing trips, along with occasional meals out among the nearby towns.Shopping trips and trips away for short vacations are also offered at our own convenience and expense of course.A complete medical staff right here at the campus, including doctors, nurses, nursing assistants and clinics for treatment with transportation to nearby hospitals for more extensive treatment if necessary. There is more to talk about but I am beginning to sound like a commercial.Sufficientto know that we are well, we arelearning the ropes, and are looking forward to visits, as well as visits back to see our family and friends in Columbia County, and many other locations around our great country from time to time

 

 

Finally; we have listedthe pertinent information to get in touch with us, and be assured, we are very anxious to get your call, E mail or letter. We miss you all and look forward to seeing you or staying in touch in other ways.

 

 

Love

 

 

Joann and Erling

Erling, It is great having you back on line. We missed you and all of your wonderful contributions that we all cherish so well and look forward to seeing. Whenever we see the name “Erling Landsverk”, it brightens our day with all the positives you see in life. You are truly an inspiration to each and everyone of us. We hope everything works out well for you in your new home. We know that you make the best of every situation, so we are very confident that all will be well. We realize it had to be a traumatic move none the less. Gary

Gary: I want to thank all of those who sent Char and I the appreciation for our granddaughter, Rachel on her crowning of Miss Super Model USA.. We are sincerely proud of her accomplishment and we hope she continues her goals in life. Thank you everyone—–Dave and Char

 

Dave’s Reply to Ken Striker:
Ken—-Yes we did kinda got into the family tree. So Ester would be Kevins grand mother and Della would be the great grand mother and Kevin is my son-in-law and Rachel is my grand daughter so from here you have to put the tree together and find our relationship. I think I have it figured out pretty close but am kinda getting confused. You know in am geting older and might have ah ah, whats that thing they say when we got older.LOL You know, Ken if you dig deep enough we might be related to Gary Stokes—-LOL Happy Day and take care—–Dave 64—-

Reply to Bill: He’d be surprised at all I have in that little red grade book. As for numbers, they got everybody and they still do. Especially those contained in a bill.

There must be some Picards and Boguslawskis in the picture. Would Gary and Bobbie Houle send this picture to Sister Sharon Houle?

Thanks Gary
