    JOHN LARDIN 

    I would like to thank the TRI-V Family for all their prayers, calls and cards during my recent illness. The simple hip replacement has tuned in to being a major procedure. I have lost more weight (about 60 lbs) than thought and this has effected my medication for the sugar and blood pressure. Between trying to get the meds at a favorable level and try to have physical therapy it has been a struggle. I have had to cancel the therapy at least once and now to complicate the problems I am scheduled to start chemo on Mon., July 11. As my primary doctor said “You have been through many bumps in the road and there are still a lot more before all is over.” Judy has been more than an “Angel” through all this and know I would never have made it without her. Can still use the prayers and thank all of you again.

    JULY MEMORIES 

    MEMORIES FROM THE JULY 2006 ISSUE OF TRI-V UMPH

    A check of my records did not show a TRI-V Umph being published in July 2006. At the time we were in the process of changing editors/publishers. Now would be the chance to sit in the warm evenings and try to remember special memories from that month.

    MEMORIES FROM THE JULY 2011 ISSUE OF TRI-V UMPH

    We are happy to report of no known members of the TRI-V Family being in ill health and in need of our prayers. On the bright side our congratulations go out to our President Matt VanHollebeke on his marriage to Kli in June and Onallee and Bill Trachsel who celebrated their 66 years of marriage on July 14th. New arrivals to the Trachsel Family include Delaney Jane who arrived on June 14th to Amber and Steve Trachsel. John Mackson was getting ready to start his first season as Head Coach of the University of Michigan-Dearborn Men’s Basketball Team after a successful five seasons at Taylor Kennedy High School, Taylor, and to Beverly Lardin who’s college she attended on a scholarship in Kansas City MO team was inducted into their College Hall of Fame, the first girls team to be so inducted.

    All kinds of movement in the TRI-V Family with members and family coming and going. Judy Lardin after having cataract surgery on June 16th and followed again on June 30th made a trip with three days at Kalahari Water Park in Sandusky OH and on her return to IL to spend a week with her Mom. Karlyn and Tim Gies daughter Lisa Sponsky and kids made a trip the middle of June for a week visit with Mom and Dad then Karlyn and Tim spend the weekend of July 4th at Rainbow Lake to visit the Kathy and Art Dushary. Onallee Trachsel and the Gies will be visiting with Diane and Ken Plocharczyk and Art Trachsel the last weekend of July.

    Congratulations were due to Dave Burke on his hole in one Monday at golf and perhaps an equally impressive quarter drip in the shot glass as the VFW after golf. Final Golf is set for the weekend of August 19th – 21st at Ray’s Retreat in Gaylord MI, the TRI-V annual Picnic on July 17th at Mettala Park, Wixom and the TRI-V Steak Roast on August 28th also at Mettala Park, Wixom.

    This wraps up another trip down memory lane. Unfortunately not many memories to share but that is what is going to happen in our daily lives if we don’t take the time to share our current memories. I continue to ask your prayers for my current medical condition and this is one memory I will never forget going through. Until we see you next month in print, the Good Lord willing, take care of one another.

    July President’s Message 

    Summer is in full swing and I am in full vacation mode. The Jay Trachsel family had a great time camping at the Pinery in Ontario last week. The kids had a blast playing together and the adults enjoyed some downtime by the campfire fending off an overly comfortable raccoon one evening.

    The anniversary party was held on June 17th at Joy Manor in Livonia. By all accounts it was a nice evening. The Tri-V picnic will be held on July 17th at Rotary Park in Livonia. I will be looking to repeat as egg toss champion, so you may want to practice.

    Until then, enjoy the sunshine and the great outdoors.

    Update on Blondie 

    Blondie Forsyth has had some medical issues lately.  She took a tumble while in the hospital and is in rehab.  She is moving to a new home, Monday, July 11, where she can get more care.  She would love some cheerful, happy notes/cards.  Her new address is:   Edith Forsyth, 981 Jolly Rd, Okemos, MI 48864.  I would suggest adding Tri-V to your signature, as she doesn’t remember everyone’s names anymore.

    A Letter From The Editor (me)… 

    Hello everyone! I’m sorry this month’s paper comes to you a week late, I’m still catching up from vacation. Anyway, it looks like everyone was successful using the new posting method for the most part. I’m still working out how to incorporate attachments and the best method to create user accounts. Each of those items will be a little more complex, so I’m looking to make help videos/documents so it’s easy for everyone. Please bear with me going forward and let me know if you have any comments or concerns.

    Thanks and I hope to see you 7/17 at the family picnic!

    -Dave Burke

    Trifle From Tim & Karlyn Gies 

    We are enjoying our first summer down in Florida. Just golfed 18 and now it is pool time. Weather doesn’t seem any worse than many other parts of the country.

    We have our oldest grandchildren Austin & Kayla flying down to Florida on July 13th to spend three days with us before we drive up to Gatlinburg TN for the Gies family vacation. Tracey, Nick and family will also be joining us. We should be in Michigan on July 23rd – July 30th. We then travel to Higgins Lake area for several days to visit with friends and Diane and Ken. We will be in Farmington Hills from July 5th to about the 15th when we plan to return to Florida. Tim says that is long enough as we were away for three weeks in May. He is tired of traveling, Hope to see many of our Tri-V friends while there.

    Tracey and Nick Katcherian are moving back to Michigan. They just put a deposit on a lot in Tanglewood in South Lyon and will be building a new home. Nick starts working back in Michigan soon and the family will follow when the Kentucky schools go back. They will be living with Nicks parents until the home is ready hopefully in December.

    See you all soon.
    Love,
    Tim and Karlyn

    Golf League Updated 

    Welcome to summer! Today is the saddest day of the year for me, the longest day and it’s all down hill from here. Anyway, summer was in full force as the weather was at least 90 degrees and muggy. Apparently I took a few holes to adjust because I started terrible and finished strong… but only received 1 point for my efforts. Dale and Mike are running away with the 2nd half after only two weeks. They’re both within two points of each other and third is 4.5 back. However with the current scoring system anything can happen.

    Please remember we will not be golfing on the 4th of July. Also several golfers dropped a score this week including: George, Shawn, Brian, Jay, and Gerry. Nick and John will drop a score with their next round.

    Golf League Updated 

    Today is the first day of the second half. Congratulations to Mike Trachsel for his first place finish this week. He’s been sandbagging all year and it finally paid off. Nice job getting first place with a crappy 40. Mike edged out Dale by 0.2 stokes for first place this week.

    The good news is I’ve golfed 8 weeks this year, Nate has golfed 3 weeks and I have a dominating lead over Nate by 2.5 points. Nice try Nate!

    This week a lot of golfers including Dale, Lew, Mike, Steve, and I all dropped a score. Nick, George, Shawn, John, Brian, Jay, and Gerry will all drop a score with their next round.

    Golf League Updated 

    Another week of Tri-V golf and another week of narrowly avoiding terrible weather. Luckily the course is up to the latest safety standards and everyone was able to take appropriate cover in the shelter after hearing the warning siren.

    This week was the last week of the 1st half, as we lose a week of golfing this year due to Independence day being on a Monday. The 2nd half will have 8 weeks unless we have any rainouts.

    Congratulations to Gerry Whitefoot, who has won the 1st half. Gerry almost went wire to wire and dominated the final week by earning zero points to secure the win. Nice job Gerry!

    No “in the money” golfers dropped a score this week, but Dale, Lew, Mike, Steve, and I will drop a score with our next round.

    Good luck everyone in the 2nd half!
