  Presidents Message I hope everyone in our Tri… 

  Presidents Message
  I hope everyone in our Tri V family is well and dealing ok with our new normal as we slowly begin to open things back up. We have been looking at upcoming events to determine which can safely be held.
  The July 26th picnic reservation for Rotary park pavilion 3 is still on the calendar. I have talked to some members with younger kids to get their thoughts on going forward with the picnic. We may adjust games and possible have each family bring their own meals if it seems wise to do so. I would like to hear from anyone who has ideas on how to best holding the picnic the safest way possible.
  The 1st half Tri V golf season ends Tuesday June 15th with many people still with a change to win. We will play 8weeks for the 2nd half with the final week August 17th being the championship playoff.
  I have talked to Mike Trachsel and the golf weekend is still scheduled for August 21st,22nd,23rd. There will be more information coming as we see how the corona virus situation is affecting things as the summer goes on.
  Jeff is working on the Steak Roast dates and planning again with an eye on what‘s happening. All events are subject to change or cancellation as new news comes out.

  The Lardins
  May prove to be a busy month for Judy and John. Upon their return from Florida the end of April they had to set up doctor appointments for John. He had to get his pacemaker/defalcator checked with the heart doctor and visit the chemo doctor to restart Chemo treatments and fortunately there was no break in receiving the chemo. Did have a cat scan and am happy to say all turned out well. The tumor has crystallized which prevents it from growing and since the last cat scan has shrunk a very little. Still has to have his yearly checkup with the eye doctor because of his diabetes then appoints in August for his echo and carotid Doppler check. On the good side John has been able to play golf the last two weeks of May with the Friday group. Other activities kept us busy celebrating Bev’s birthday with a drive bye of 41 cars then granddaughter Alyssa had a drive bye for her 10th birthday with 39 cars. John’s Uncle, his Mothers brother, who will turn 100 in Feb. just had a pacemaker and came through with flying colors. Uncle Mike just quit driving two years ago but still cooks dinner every night. Up until two years he lived alone in Hillsdale Mi. and is still sharp as a tack. Other than that we have been limited on what we can do with the lockdown. Continue to pray for your family, the TRI-V Family and all your friends that we can get through this dilemma and get back to something normal. PRAYERS DO WORK

  MEMORIES FROM THE JUNE 2015 ISSUE OF TRI… 

  MEMORIES FROM THE JUNE 2015 ISSUE OF TRI-V UMPH
  Our prayers go out to Bob and Sherry Kuhr on the passing of Bob’s brother Richard from a heart attack. The funeral will be held in Cincinnati, OH.
  The summer season begins with Brian Trachsel organizing a marble practice/learning event for all those interested in learning a new game while honing their skills. It is likely that marbles will replace pinochle for the 2016 season due to a waning interest level of interest in pinochle. The TRI-V Wives swim will be held at the home of Bev and Mike Lardin at 1 p.m. in Canton, MI. The August meeting will be held at the Hankerd Inn during the wives stay there. The ladies getaway is scheduled at the Hankerd Inn in Pleasant Lake, MI from August 3-5. The Anniversary Party is scheduled for June 19 at Joy Manor in Westland. Entertainment will be provided by the musical group Killarney Creek. Arika and Ryan Trachsel announced the birth of their daughter Piper Jean on May 22. Final Golf will be held August 21-23 at Ray’s Treat, Gaylord, MI. 28 golfers have committed to attend. John Lardin was diagnosed with Achilles tendinitis and the doctor ruled out surgery as too risky. June 9 John will have a cauterization to determine if he will need a pacemaker/defibrillator implant. Just proves John takes better care of Judy than she does of him. On June 1 Alyssa turned 5 and she has turned out to be Judy’s little girl. Judy and John will be making a trip to Buhl, Idaho to celebrate Judy’s uncle’s birthday who be 90. It was 10 years ago that Judy and her mom made the same trip to celebrate his 80th birthday. Her uncle is her mom’s youngest brother and the only living of her five siblings. Somewhere in between is a trip to Corpus Christi, TX to visit Larry and family. This wraps up another trip down Memory Lane. Here it is the first part of June and the beginning of vacation season. The kids should be getting out of school in a week, but with the Covid19 they have doing online school for the past two months so much different for all this year. Now would be a good time to take with your children, grandchildren what you did when fist getting out of school. Did your family start planning for a vacation; perhaps you were going to start a summer job or play a sport in a summer league. Don’t let these special times die in the back of your memory. Share them with your family and friends. Our children and grandchildren will have many stories to tell with the pandemic and then the protests. Until we see you next month in print, the Good Lord willing, take care of one another.

  I hope everyone in our Tri V family is well and dealing ok in theses trying times. I want to wish returning snowbirds safe travels home.
  We have seen all events of the spring canceled and the committees for the upcoming summer schedule will monitor as new guidelines are implemented to determine if their events can be held.
  The Tri V golf season was able start on April 20th one week later than scheduled. The golf course has set up electronic payments to limit interaction of people although they were still taking cash or credit card payments. They were also not allowing carts as of yet.
  Dave is also setting up the leagues prize money and side bet money for electronic payment. If anyone needing help with this please let us know. Do not let the new payment methods keep you from golfing or getting into the prize money if you desire to do so.

  THE LARDINS We finally made it home on… 

  THE LARDINS
  We finally made it home on Sat., April 25th at 1:30 in the afternoon. We left Ft. Myers on Fri. the 24 at 7:30am and drove for 13 hours to Corbin KY. We left Corbin at 6:30am on Sat. arriving in Westland at 1:30pm. The traffic was almost non existence until we hit Metro Airport on I-275. A wonder trip. We were scheduled to leave Fl. the end of March but the chemo Drs urged me to stay in Fl. if possible to continue with my chemo treatments. THE owner of the condo was gracious and allowed us to stay as long as we needed to. Judy was ready to come home the end of April as we we’re in a lockdown in Fl. and when we returned to Mi. we are currently in a two week quarantine until May 9th. Judy says she has closets she can clean out. As of this writing she has not started that. I am waiting to hear from the chemo Dr. here to see when we will get a cat scan and restart chemo. All a waiting period. It is good to be home in our own bed after four months and looking to be in contact with the family and our TRI-V Family. Until then continue to take care of one another and continue to [ray for everyone. PRAYERS DO WORK.

  MEMORIES FROM THE May 2015 ISSUE OF TRI-V UMPH
  John and Judy Lardin arrived back in MI on April 20. It’s always good to be back in your own bed. John has been suffering with a “bum” ankle since last summer and felt it would eventually go away. After putting up with it all winter he finally went to the doctor and was told he had Achilles tendonitis and surgery was out at this time as there could be complications from the surgery. He was given a boot to wear that comes to the knee. When asked about playing golf the doctor told him he doubted if he could play with it on but not rule out playing sooo John being the sport he is wears a special ace bandage the two days he plays golf. Cannot put into print Judy’s reaction. Upcoming trips include one to Texas in June to visit son Larry and family then to Idaho in July to celebrate Judy’s uncle’s 90th birthday. Judy plans to try to fit a trip to visit her sister in IL and John hopes to fit in a trip to OH to visit his cousin. Congratulations are in order to number 3 son, Larry who finally completed and received his bachelor degree from the University of Texas. Congratulations to Jack Schaefer who had successful right knee replacement on May 4. We ask you to remember Jack in your prayers that he has a rapid, successful recovery. Congratulations to Andrea Trachsel, daughter of Jeff Trachsel, who graduated from Oakland University on May 1 with a Bachelor of Science-Nursing Degree. Hopefully this fall she would like to return to school again to be a Nurse Practitioner. Karen and I would also like to announce the birth of our newest Grandson on May 7. Damien Thomas was 7.8 lbs and 19.5 inches long. He is the son of Karen’s daughter Nicole and son-in-law Jason. Mother and baby are doing well. One down and two more to go this year!
  The ladies spring luncheon is set for Saturday, May 16 at Papa Vino restaurant, Livonia. All daughters and daughter-in-laws are invited. Final pinochle was held on April 19 at Cadieux Café. Congratulations to Jan Cashman who was awarded the first place plaque with total points of 134. There were 19 TRI-V members for dinner and feather bowling after. The Anniversary party is scheduled for Friday, June 19 at Joy Manor, Westland. Entertainment will be provided by the musical group Killarney Creek. Final Golf is scheduled for the weekend of Aug. 21-23 in Gaylord.
  This wraps up another trip down Memory Lane. With the Corona Virus we have so many memories to think and talk about. Some of our grandchildren will have no memory of what has happened. Now is the time for us to take time to discuss our memories with each other as well as our children and older grandchildren. Do you remember going to Edgewater Park, the Boblo Boat or Boblo Island or maybe a trip to Belle Isle to go canoeing? How about Hudson’s downtown that they were not able to enjoy or riding on a street car? Hopefully you are getting the point. Share those memories with all. Until we see you next month in print, the Lord willing, take care of one another.

  The Tri V open house golf outing in May has been cancelled. Nick will make a decision on whether to reschedule the event later in the season in the near future.
