MEMORIES FROM THE JANUARY 2008 ISSUE of TRI-V Umph
MEMORIES FROM THE JANUARY 2008 ISSUE of TRI-V Umph
All TRI-V Members seemed to be in pretty good health though there are a few of the extended family we remembered in our prayers. We had Kirk Trachsel, son of Art and sister of Diane Plocharczyk, who was still recovering from his accident that it seems happened ages ago and to Jamie Forsyth, granddaughter of Blondie, who had successful kidney and pancreas transplant surgery. Newest
Retirees were Bob Kuhr on Dec. 21st and Art Dushary the end of January. Upon Art’s retirement they have moved to their Florida home in Ocala, Florida. Cal Cashman’s daughter, Kelly and her family came up from Franklin, TN to spend the Christmas Holidays with Cal and Jan. Judy and John Lardin shared their whirlwind trip to IL and Branson MO over the Thanksgiving Holiday with her Mom. The Tri-V Anniversary Party was scheduled for March 15th at the Maples, Novi and the Florida Anniversary Party was scheduled for early March at the Roaring 20s in Ellenton, FL. Pinochle standings through Jan. play had Jeff Trachsel in first place with 96.5 points, Brian Trachsel in second place with 91.5 points and Dion Angelosanto in third place with 88 points.
MEMORIES FROM THE JANUARY 2013 ISSUE of TRI-V Umph
Our prayers go out to Art Trachsel. Art fell in his apartment on Dec. 14 and severely sprained his left upper arm. Besides a trip to ER he’s had a home health care nurse coming to his apartment several times a week to inspect the wound and change the dressing. It has taken over a month but he is almost healed. In addition he is getting physical therapy to help with balance and strength issues. Good news for Kathy Dushary; she had her 6 week check-up with a clean bill of health from the oncologist. She just has to get semi-annual check-ups for the next two years. On the other hand, the results of Art’s biopsy revealed that he has kidney cancer. The cancer runs from the lower part of the right kidney and the upper part of the tube from the kidney to the bladder. So the kidney and tube will be removed in January. The good news is that the cancer is contained and the surgery should be the only treatment needed.
Judy and John Lardin arrived in Ft. Myers, FL the first week of January. They survived the trip to Corpus Christi, TX in December. The trip was much better than the trip in October. Larry and John planned a round of golf but the temp Sunday afternoon was in the mid 80’s and on Monday the high was 45 with 30 plus miles wind. Only in Texas can the weather change this much in one day.
The Tri-V Council party will be held at the Detroit Institute of Arts on Jan. 19th followed by dinner at the Traffic Jam and Snug restaurant located in midtown
Detroit.
The Tri-V Wives celebrated their Christmas luncheon on December 16th with lunch at Rocky’s in Northville. There were 16 in attendance.
The Children’s Christmas party was on Dec. 17th with 41 adults and 23 children attending. The party was held at the Garden City Museum. An Ugly Sweater contest was held for the first time; Judy Lardin was the winner. Victoria and Dominic Angelosanto hosted January pinochle. Robyn and John Mackson tied for first place with 27.5 points; and Nick coming in third with 22.5 points.
The Tri-V Committee assignments for 2013 were published along with an article pertaining to the upcoming election to be held at the March meeting.
Pinochle standings through January had Jane Trachsel in first place with 102 points, Terry Connolly in second place with 92.5 points and Mike Trachsel in third place with 88 points.
This wraps up another trip down memory lane. Hopefully all had a wonderful and Merry Christmas and the New Year is better for you than 2017. With Christmas just ending, now is the time to share that special moment that happened over the Holiday. These will become our memories to share in future years. Don’t let them get lost. These memories are precious to all.
For the next three months you will be receiving the memories from Florida and for those still here in the north please stay warm. Until we see you next month in print, the Good Lord willing, take care of one another.
