A birthday celebration was recently held at a water park honoring Brianna Inman who turned six . The weekend was spent enjoying the water rides . A great time was had by all in attendance .
Wilbert Ruff recently passed . He had just celebrated his 100th birthday on Jan . 1 . He was a lifetime farmer and able to live life as he wished almost to the end – he still lived alone on the family farm on Dog Ridge Road in St . Leon until a few weeks before his death . He is now in heaven with his family . I will miss my friend .
Ted Stenger also recently passed . Ted is survived by his wife Rita , sons Eric ( Kathy ) Stenger , Randy ( Tracy ) Stenger , and Russ ( Heather ) Stenger ; and daughter Cindy Morse . He had thirteen grandchildren and four greatgrandchildren . Ted was instrumental in the organization of the St . Leon Volunteer Fire Dept . in 1967 and served as our first fire chief . He always helped out with festivals every year until his health started to fail . I will miss working with him at the fire house as well
O ur as at our American Legion functions . Ted and I didn ’ t always see eye to eye and butted heads more than once , but I considered him a great friend . RIP Teddy !

We have made it past Easter and are now officially in spring . I wish someone would tell the weatherman spring is here . I ran across a song sung by Elvis Presley called , “ One Pair of Hands .” Listening to the song made me think about Easter .
On March 14 , I watched the implosion of one of the smokestacks at the old I & M power plant . I had just come back from Florida visiting my girlfriend Jeannie ( Grimes ) Burch . Her father , Pat Grimes , had been assistant plant manager at the plant back in the early 50 ’ s .
I want to welcome Holly and Sami who are the newest doggie additions to Greendale . Holly is a boxer , and her owners are Micky and Lori Brookbank . Sami ’ s owners are Steve and Connie Sandbrink , and she is a boxer mix . Enjoy !!
Condolences go out to the family of David &
A lone snowman hung on as long as he could in Greendale .
Mary Scudder on the passing of David ( Froggie ) a former Greendale residence . Froggie , as he is known , worked at Anchor Glass , formally Thatcher Glass , for forty-eight years and was active on the Manchester Fire and Rescue Dept .
Well wishes go out to Theresa Dickerson Oelker , Jennifer Honnert , and Pat Titkemeyer . I hope you all are feeling much better .
