MEMORIES FROM THE DECEMBER 2010 ISSUE OF TRI-V UMPH
We were asked to remember in our prayers Karen Thrift and Jeff Trachsel. Karen had knee surgery on Nov. 12 and was diagnosed with blue bones. It was determined it was caused by some medication she was on. Research showed that she was only the second case ever recorded. The end of November Jeff was rushed to the hospital with severe chest pains. He was diagnosed with 95% blockage on the right coronary artery and had three stints inserted. We are glad to report that both have recovered. Also to John Lardin who had eight inches of his colonoscopy removed on Nov. 12 and he being free of cancer now. Geri Ruetenik has been given a clean bill of health. A Tri-V Club By-Law proposed change would allow all members eligible to vote to request their ballot. It is the responsibility of the member to request the absentee ballot from the election committee. He may request the ballot electronically or by US Mail. Congratulations to Matt and Christine Hoffman and grandparents Peg and George Hoffman on the arrival of son, Timothy born on Nov. 23. Those travelling over the Holidays included daughter Lisa and her family to celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas with Tim and Karlyn. Judy and John Lardin spent Thanksgiving with Judy’s parents over the Thanksgiving Weekend and on their return went to Texas to celebrate grandson Jacob’s fourth birthday; when they return they will celebrate grandson Dante’s sixth birthday and then get ready for the Trip to FL for the winter. Sherry and Bob Kuhr spent three weeks in Albania visiting son Rob and family. The Children’s Christmas Party was set for Dec. 12 at F. B. Wright Co., Dearborn.
