JUNE IS HERE!

Last weekend was bittersweet for me. Marie and Steve arrived last Saturday. We, plus Geoff and Lynne, enjoyed a nice supper out at Whiskey Creek in MC. The bad part was that I was sick. I had a bad cold or something, but I felt rotten. We had even planned to head to Le Mars on Sunday, but didn't because I didn't feel well. Steve drove back on Monday and Marie flew back on Tuesday. Now they both say I may have made them sick!

Geoff leaves for Alaska to work at Lake Marie Lodge near Anchorage. He'll be a captain on a boat for fishermen/tourists. He has to carry a rifle and a pistol to protect clients from wild animals, especially bears.

Lynne seems to be working FT at the DQ. I don't see her very much. Her friend Mac returned from his art trip to Germany last weekend and we enjoyed pizza with him last Monday. Guten Tag!

One of my schools, Blemmond-Klemme, is not issuing contracts until mid-July at the earliest. They are waiting until their 3 new administrators are hired so they can plan together. CRAP!!!

Steve has been out driving around western KS checking on the station's transmitters.

Marie told us that Jeff Allen was in a bicycle accident recently. They were riding on a trail and a young fellow came around a curve too fast on his motor bike and ran into Jeff. Jeff's bike was ruined. Jeff fell off but is OK. His bike is now in for repairs. He rides his bike to work so I guess now he'll walk or use his skateboard!

I know that Memorial Day is over, but please reflect again on those brave men and women who gave their all for the USA.
