Our Daughter Sheryl
Our daughter Sheryl, her fiancé Allen and her daughter Nevaeh left Wednesday night. They were here for 16 days. In those days they made a pretty strong bonding with their Filipino cousins and their families, especially Nevaeh. She is nine. It was a hard departure. I am sure they will stay well connected via Skype. Nevaeh picked up a lot of Filipino words too and her cousins most certainly reinforced their English skills.
We so enjoyed having them here, especially Bernadette with her condition.

Joke of the day
Forwarded to Vickie Metcalfe from Don Aird
Two Norwegian hunters named Ole and Sven, hired a pilot to fly them into the Canadian wilderness, where they managed to bag two big Bull Moose.
As they were loading the plane to return, the pilot said the plane could take only the hunters, their gear and one Moose.
The hunters objected strongly saying, “Last year we shot two, and the pilot let us take them both…and he had exactly the same airplane as yours.”
Reluctantly the pilot, not wanting to be outdone by another bush pilot, gave in and everything was loaded.
However, even under full power, the little plane couldn’t handle the load and went down, crashing in the wooded wilderness. Somehow, surrounded by the moose, clothing and sleeping bags, Stosh and Thad survived the crash.
After climbing out of the wreckage,
Ole asked Sven, “Any idea where we are?”
Sven replied, “I think we’re pretty close to where we crashed last year.”

From Susan Fassett Martin (65):
My deepest sympathy to the family of Kevin Hanson. He is a cousin, as his mother Sharon Eurich and I had grandmothers who were sisters. (Kate Fasset and Eva Eurich)
I am also related to Tim Hill as his grandmother and my grandmother were sisters. (Gudrun Wood and Helen Nelson)
My prayers go out to both families.
Hugs, Susan

To Diane hill and family I will keep Tim and his family in my prayers and hope that he gets the transplants that he needs

From Dale Pritchard (63):
Hi Gary,
I have found that your network is better than any other system I know of
for getting word out. Through it, I found out about the death of Kevin
Hanson. His mother, Sharon Eurich Hanson, is my first cousin. Sharon’s
mother, Winifred, is the last living sibling on my dad’s side of the
family. Enjoy reading all the input from everyone. Thanks.

From Dick Johnson (68):
Gary and Friends
Thanks to Diane Hill Moline and Rich Campbell for providing us all with
the information on Tim’s benefit. He is a hard working family guy who is
very deserving of our support. Tim is hanging in there, waiting for his
transplant! I had to deliver an antique pickup to the Minot area this
week and Tim rode with me around town to the various places I had to go.
We had a good time just like we always do when we get a chance to get
together. He is a trooper!! Hopefully he will soon get the procedure and
be back to 100%!! Lets all do our part to give Tim and Laurie our help
to get through this a little easier. He is a great guy and with a little
help and encouragement he will get through this just fine!! Thanks!
Dick
