Small crowd today with 20 members and our guest speaker. Fred Amalfi was acting Sergeant At Arms for Bill Armstrong who is cruising somewhere along the coast of Alaska. We welcomed back David Lowery who was off ill for several months. David was delighted to be back and is able to once again walk and drive. Art Samson returned after five weeks at his cottage. He read a short synopsis of the meaning of life which accounted for why he sits on his porch and barks at folks who walk by.
Wayne Massey is still trying to get rid of trumpet plants in his yard. David Carson had a great vacation in British Columbia cruising the inside passage and Bob Morrow is thinking of his upcoming trip to china.
Barry Stoltz is back to work after almost four weeks vacation and Derek Price is happy that his old home country is winning so many Olympic medals. Talking about medals, David Carson praised the women's soccer team for their fine effort.
Barbara Busing was pleased that her two boys were visiting and will soon see one of them off to China. She also had a note from Shelley Hall informing us that Emily arrived in Denmark early on Sunday morning and is now at her first host family. Phil Wood's son joined him on a bike ride on the rail trail but of equal importance helped Phil install a range hood over his stove.
Bob Bell will soon be off camping and canoeing with his wife and family. He is hoping he does not have to resort to a resort when the camping experience wears thin. Wayne Magus had a great day fishing with Fred and caught several salmon which they are smoking. Let's hope it does not affect their lungs!
David Carson, our program director reminded everyone that next week's meeting is offsite at Ronald MacDonald House. Same time, different location. He then introduced our guest speaker, Richard Allen.
