    SEPTEMBER MEMORIES 

    MEMORIES FROM THE SEPTEMBER 2009 ISSUE OF TRI-V UMPH

    Once again the month of Sept. was a good month for TRI-V members and extended family as there were no reports of anyone in need of our prayers. John Lardin is about 98% recovered from the soreness he has been suffering the last five weeks from his short fall. No more said about that. Ann Marie Angelosanto’s brother, Curtis Lipinski, is recovering slowly from his operation on his left leg. Judy Lardin joined Mike and Bev over the Labor Day Holiday with a trip to Illinois to visit Judy’s mom who turned 86 in April and son Brian had surgery for a torn meniscus and was playing golf 11 days after the surgery. John was finally getting his Father’s day present as son Larry and family were coming in from Texas for a week’s visit. The Angelosanto Family was headed to the west side of MI for a day at the Double JJ Ranch. As fate would have it for them, it rained and was cold for their entire stay. The rules and schedules were published for the 2009/2010 Tri-V Pinochle and the Oct. Stag event was set for Oct. 17 for an evening of whirly ball at the Novi Sports Arena, Novi. There were articles on the Wives weekend held the weekend of Aug. 28 in Alma with 12 women attending and Final Golf weekend of Aug. 28.

    MEMORIES FROM THE SEPTEMBER 2014 ISSUE OF TRI-V UMPH

    Our prayers got out to Bob Kuhr on the loss of his brother who passed away from an apparent heart attack at the age of 64. And a special “Happy Birthday” to Art Trachsel who celebrated his 94 birthday on Sept. 16th. He is the oldest living member of Tri-V. The pinochle season is about to begin and the number of players continue to decrease. The Tri-V golf winners were A flight—Jay Trachsel; B flight—Matt Van Hollenbeke. The monthly Tri-V meeting will be on Tuesday evening at Drakeshire Lanes, Farmington. Final Golf was held the weekend of Aug. 15-17 in Gaylord, MI with 24 golfers making the trip. 26 people enjoyed the steak roast at Rotary Park in Livonia. Children’s Christmas party will be Dec. 14 at Eddie Edgar Ice Arena in Livonia. Judy and John had guests from Columbus, OH and (guests) have a condo in FL in same complex where Judy and John stay. Two guests participated in the Susan G. Komen 3 day, 60 mile walk. Ken Plocharczyk traveled to Denver to spend a week with his 7 year old granddaughter, Katy. As I prepare this article it brings back to mind what was written back in the memories of the Sep. 2004 issue that John Lardin was diagnosed in 1994 with a sugar problem and was told by the doctor that medication and weight loss should resolve the problem and eliminate continued use of the medication. Guess after ten years the “diet” John is on is not working and it might be wise for him to switch to a different one. Now it is 2014 another ten years later and 20 years since John was diagnosed with the sugar problem and again the damn diet he switched to in 2004 is still not working. Hopefully in ten years (2024) the “new” diet will be working. On the serious side are we sharing memories less and less with our family and friends? Let’s not wait until it is too late so please share a memory. Take the time to do it now. Maybe getting out some old pictures and talking about when they were taken might be a start. Until we see you in print next, the Good Lord willing, take care of one another.

    MARK ELLIOTT MEMORIAL 

    MARK ELLIOTT MEMORIAL

    The memorial service for TRI-V Member Mark Elliott was held on June 8th at White Chapel Cemetery.

    TRI-V Members attending were Nick and Vickie Angelosanto, Lee and Marian Anderson, Terry and Ellie Connolly, John and Judy Lardin, Brian and Jane Trachsel, Jay and Liz Trachsel and Ken and Kate Stress.

    A few things we did not know about the Elliott Family were Mark Sr. set the school swim record in high school and in the 1942 Olympics that were cancelled because of the war and were still held privately by the Americans. Mark Sr. won the silver medal. He was beat out of the gold medal by Johnny Westmiller who later became Tarzan in the movies. Mark Jr. who was very quiet about his personal life is a different story. E worked for the Detroit Water System and was a 185 bowler and an 8 handicap golfer. What we did not know how good an athletic he was. In high school he broke the swim record that had been established by his dad years before. He was a catcher in baseball and did make it to the minor leagues. His wit and sense of humor will be missed. For those who knew him and were fortunate enough to be involved with him we were blessed.

    YOU WILL BE MISSED MARK.

    THE LARDINS 

    THE LARDINS

    July proved to be another busy month for Judy and John. John restarted his chemo every two weeks while Judy was golfing every Mon. morning with Jan Cashman in a Farming Hills league with an 8am tee time. Judy continues to take care of our 94 year neighbor who is in assisted living in Northville. Bev is teaching summer school so Tue., Wed. and Thur. Judy watches granddaughter Alyssa half the day. Of course Alyssa always wants a sleepover and go shopping. John has been able to play golf with TRI-V retires on Mon. and with another group of retires on Friday. Judy’s sister and niece were here for a long weekend and was an experience. They did make a couple trips to Caesars in Windsor to see David Foster, Chicago and Howie Mandel. Other than that we are doing little. Please continue your prayers for all in the TRI-V Family and friends as they are needed and do work.

    AUGUST MEMORIES 

    MEMORIES FROM THE AUGUST 2009 ISSUE OF TRI-V UMPH

    Esther Chamberlain was recuperating from a heart attack and will be moving to American House on Joy Rd., Westland. We are asked to remember her in your daily prayers. Bud Massoll has moved to his new residence in Brighton, MI. Judy and John Lardin continued their travels which included a meeting with a group of guys that John graduated with from high school. They are meeting in St. Joe, MI and then Judy panned for them to continue their journey to visit her Mom in Illinois for a few days. Donna and John Clingerman became grandparents for the first time when oldest daughter, Julie, gave birth to grandchild, Isabel, on July 6. The highlight of the newsletter was the trip Judy Lardin, Jacqui Schaefer, Judy’s sister-in-law Mary and Jacqui’s friend Dawn, made a quick decision to go to New York City for a week. The annual Tri-V Family Picnic was held on July 25 at Metalla Park, Wixom, with 50 adults and 20 children in attendance.

    MEMORIES FROM THE AUGUST 2014 ISSUE OF TRI-V UMPH

    The highlight of this month’s issue was the Ladies getaway (nine women) on August 4 to Hankerd Inn Resort in Pleasant Lake. It was three days of a girl’s just enjoying their time together. The Tri-V picnic was held on July 13 at Rotary Park in Livonia with 35 adults and 15 children in attendance. The girl’s chipping contest, if you can believe, was won by Judy Lardin. Final golf is scheduled for Aug. 16-18 in Gaylord; the steak roast is set for August 23 at Rotary Park; children’s Christmas party is scheduled for Dec. 14 at Eddie Edgar Ice Arena. Congratulations to Jeff and Karen who became great grandparents on August 7. Our prayers go out to Karen Thrift’s father who is having heart surgery to replace his aortic valve. Judy Lardin has been kept busy watching granddaughter, Alyssa, as Beverly teaches summer school. John’s golf game was cut short because of back strain he suffered. Judy and John had three house guests from Ohio that were walking in the Susan G. Komen cancer walk. That wraps up another trip down memory lane as we enter the “lazy days of summer”. As you can tell, it was also a lazy day for sending in articles for the newsletter. If you can take the time to put things you are doing on Facebook and TRI-V website, while doing why not send the article for the newsletter also? Until we see you next month, the Good Lord willing, take care of one another.

    Paper Issues 

    Hello Everyone,

    Sorry the paper has been screwed up the last couple months.

    This latest edition should contain all the missing articles.

    Please let me know if there are any still missing. As always, there is no need to wait for this email as everything is still visible online at trivclub.com.

    Thanks for your patience and sorry for the mix-up.

    -Dave

    P.S. A big thanks to the committee for the picnic. We had a great time, especially my kids! Matthew is still talking about how “he and dad” won the balloon toss. Thanks for a job well done!

    JOHN LARDIN UPDATE 

    JOHN LARDIN UPDATE

    The month of June started quietly as we celebrated granddaughter Alyssa’s ninth birthday but got hectic the end of the month. We started with picking Terry and Ellie Connolly the beginning of the month at 12:30AM and spending the night with us. That followed by being part of 14 TRI-Vers attending the memorial service for Mark Elliott. Then the fun started. On the 14th a lengthily meeting for John’s 60th class reunion next June then chemo finally started again on the 18th and disconnected on the 20th. On the 21st Judy and John took off for Corpus Christi TX to visit Larry, Kim and the grandkids returning on the 28th. The temp for the week was anywhere from a high of 88 to 97 with the heat index from 98 to 106. Much too hot for Judy and John. Jacob was on the Little League All Star team and did get to see him play in two games. Larry and John did get to play nine holes of golf with the temp 88 when they teed off at 9am. Judy and John were celebrating their 56 wedding anniversary on the 29th and John back on chemo July 1st. Other than the above, nothing going for us. Still asking all to please continue to remember John and all others of the TRI-V Family in your prayers. They do work
