MEMORIES FROM THE JULY 2009 ISSUE OF TRI-V UMPH
We start off the July 2009 issue of the TRI-V Umph with the members and extended family being healthier than the July 2004 issue. We are asked to remember in our prayers the family of Nick Angelosanto who suffered the loss of his sister Sally Layton on July 25th. Terry Connolly had a portion of his lower lip removed on June 16th. The sore turned out to be squalors cell cancer and the doctor got it all. On June 9th Karen Thrift had surgery on her right hand to relieve an arthritic thumb. They took out a bone and inserted a pin. Karlyn Gies daughter, Lisa, was in severe pain suffering from Bells Palsy and Lyme disease which required Karlyn to spend two weeks in PA helping Lisa and the family with her recovery. We ask you to remember them in your prayers. Congratulations go out to Sherry and Geoff Steinhauer on the birth of daughter, Alyssa on June 16th. Those travelling included Judy Lardin, Jacqui Schafer and two friends on a last minute five day trip to New York City. The TRI-V golf league had a three way tie between Romas Bliudzius, Dave Burke and Billy Trachsel at the half way point of the season. Final Golf was set for the weekend of Aug. 28th – 30th in Gaylord with accommodations at Ray’s Retreat Country Inn. There were 28 members and guests committed. The Tri-V Steak roast was set for Aug. 8th at Mettala Park, Wixom.
MEMORIES FROM THE JULY 2014 ISSUE OF TRI-V UMPH
Our prayers go out to Art Dushary and family. After 6 rounds of chemo we have bone back to Moffitt Cancer Center and Art’s cancer is in remission although he has one new lesion and they do know if it is cancerous. They want him to keep going to chemo to keep any new cells from forming. Because he was so run down they gave him a break for seven weeks to hopefully get him built up. August 21st Art will go back to Moffitt for another pet scan and go from there. Lee Anderson got lucky on a fishing trip on Lake St. Clair catching a 30 lb. Muskie, 49.3 inches long. Nick Angelosanto took his 1979 Z28 Camaro to his first car show in Ypsilanti. Channel 4 news used his car as a showcase in their news story. Ellie and Terry Connolly made their move to Ocala, FL on July 11th. Judy Lardin continues to keep busy as she watched granddaughter Alyssa while daughter-in-law Bev teaches summer school at Canton High School for five weeks. Judy Lardin, Karlyn Gies and Jan Cashman are golfing in a Monday morning league scramble. The first half of the TRI-V golf league ended on June 9th with Jay Trachsel winning the A flight and John Mackson taking the B flight. The Anniversary party was held June 27th at Joy Manor in Westland with 39 in attendance. The Tri-V picnic will be held on July 13 at Rotary Park in Livonia. The ladies getaway is scheduled for Aug. 4th-6th at Hankerd Inn Resort near Jackson, final golf is scheduled for Aug. 16th-18th in Gaylord, and the steak roast is scheduled for Aug. 23rd at Rotary Park in Livonia. The children’s Christmas party is scheduled for Dec. 14th at Eddie Edgar Ice Arena, Livonia. This wraps up another trip down memory lane. The cancer suffered by Terry Connolly in 2009 returned again this year and was hopefully once again removed for good. My personal prayers go out to little brother Nick on the loss of his sister Sally. Nick also lost his brother, Michael 18 years ago, both so young. Perhaps now is a good time for all of us to take a moment and reflect on family and friends that are suffering various ailments. Do not wait until it is too late. Like I continually tell friends, “Do not be ashamed to give that family member or friend a hug. The day will come when you will say “I wish I could give him one more hug”.” Until we see you in print next month, the Good Lord willing, take care of one another.
