6/30: I was in contact with Phyllis via email recently, and found out that she has been battling breast cancer since last August. She has had 4 surgeries, and finished with chemo this past April. Not sure how many of you were aware of this, but you might want to include her in your thoughts and prayers.

7/1: We have 4 birthdays this month: Pat (Comer) Mesa, Evelyn (Lundelius) Armistead, and our class twins- Judy and Joan (Branigan). Happy birthday to the 4 of you, and many returns.

7/26: Sadly, I have to report that Chipper Swarm passed away on Saturday, July 23. Thoughts and prayers are for the family.

8/17: Here we are more than 1/2 way through the month of August, and Rose reminded me that I didn't post the anniversaries and birthdays for the month. We have been busy this month, but alas, that's a poor excuse. So, for the following, I apologize, especially to those whose important date has passed.

We have an anniversary: John and Sue Roger - don't know which one, but has to be getting close to 50. Happy anniversary to you both!

Celebrating birthdays are: Charlie Patterson, Rosemarie Sarli, and Dan Schaiewitz. Happy birthday to each of you, and many returns.

Maybe I'll get my act together for the month of September.
