MEMORIES FROM THE SEPTEMBER 2009 ISSUE OF TRI-V UMPH
Once again the month of Sept. was a good month for TRI-V members and extended family as there were no reports of anyone in need of our prayers. John Lardin is about 98% recovered from the soreness he has been suffering the last five weeks from his short fall. No more said about that. Ann Marie Angelosanto’s brother, Curtis Lipinski, is recovering slowly from his operation on his left leg. Judy Lardin joined Mike and Bev over the Labor Day Holiday with a trip to Illinois to visit Judy’s mom who turned 86 in April and son Brian had surgery for a torn meniscus and was playing golf 11 days after the surgery. John was finally getting his Father’s day present as son Larry and family were coming in from Texas for a week’s visit. The Angelosanto Family was headed to the west side of MI for a day at the Double JJ Ranch. As fate would have it for them, it rained and was cold for their entire stay. The rules and schedules were published for the 2009/2010 Tri-V Pinochle and the Oct. Stag event was set for Oct. 17 for an evening of whirly ball at the Novi Sports Arena, Novi. There were articles on the Wives weekend held the weekend of Aug. 28 in Alma with 12 women attending and Final Golf weekend of Aug. 28.
MEMORIES FROM THE SEPTEMBER 2014 ISSUE OF TRI-V UMPH
Our prayers got out to Bob Kuhr on the loss of his brother who passed away from an apparent heart attack at the age of 64. And a special “Happy Birthday” to Art Trachsel who celebrated his 94 birthday on Sept. 16th. He is the oldest living member of Tri-V. The pinochle season is about to begin and the number of players continue to decrease. The Tri-V golf winners were A flight—Jay Trachsel; B flight—Matt Van Hollenbeke. The monthly Tri-V meeting will be on Tuesday evening at Drakeshire Lanes, Farmington. Final Golf was held the weekend of Aug. 15-17 in Gaylord, MI with 24 golfers making the trip. 26 people enjoyed the steak roast at Rotary Park in Livonia. Children’s Christmas party will be Dec. 14 at Eddie Edgar Ice Arena in Livonia. Judy and John had guests from Columbus, OH and (guests) have a condo in FL in same complex where Judy and John stay. Two guests participated in the Susan G. Komen 3 day, 60 mile walk. Ken Plocharczyk traveled to Denver to spend a week with his 7 year old granddaughter, Katy. As I prepare this article it brings back to mind what was written back in the memories of the Sep. 2004 issue that John Lardin was diagnosed in 1994 with a sugar problem and was told by the doctor that medication and weight loss should resolve the problem and eliminate continued use of the medication. Guess after ten years the “diet” John is on is not working and it might be wise for him to switch to a different one. Now it is 2014 another ten years later and 20 years since John was diagnosed with the sugar problem and again the damn diet he switched to in 2004 is still not working. Hopefully in ten years (2024) the “new” diet will be working. On the serious side are we sharing memories less and less with our family and friends? Let’s not wait until it is too late so please share a memory. Take the time to do it now. Maybe getting out some old pictures and talking about when they were taken might be a start. Until we see you in print next, the Good Lord willing, take care of one another.
