OCTOBER MEMORIES

We received all that Cy Richeson has gone through from September 17 thru October 6. He fell and broke his femur by the hip and was admitted to Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak, to repair the break and on September 24 he was transported back home to Presbyterian Village, Redford. He returned to Beaumont Hospital on September 28 and from there to hospice care on October 6. All were asked to remember Cy in your prayers. Jan and Cal Cashman spent the end of September in Wilmot OH to attend Jan’s 45th high school reunion and Cal was looking forward to his 50th class reunion in Troy on October 11. In between the two reunions they celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary at a great restaurant in Union Lake called “It’s a Matter of Taste”. Peg and George Hoffman will be leaving Oct. 10 for North Fort Myers and returning to Novi in the spring. Art and Kathy Dushary were leaving Oct. 17 for their new condo in Ocala FL and plan on returning the end of May. Peg and Bob Wendt reported that the first year of them spending the whole year in FL wasn’t bad and they have found Drs. that are able to take care of their ailments. John Lardin has completed successfully his 36 rehab visits from his heart attack and was given a clean bill of health and no need to return for six months. The middle of Oct. will find the Andersons, Connolly’s, Lardins, and Schaefer’s making a trip to Branson MO by train leaving from the Dearborn station.

This wraps up another trip down memory lane. Halloween will be almost here by the time you read this newsletter, do you remember how you used to dress for this fun day? Did you get to wear a costumed to school? Was mom or dad the one to take you out trick or treating? What about your own children or grandchildren? Do you think they have as much fun as we did this time of year? Share the memories of what you did or what our children did and as they probably do not remember. It is surprising when family members get together and start talking memories how often one or more will say “I don’t remember that.” Or “Did I really do that?” Until next month when we meet in print, the Good Lord willing, take care of one another.
