doing pretty good and I, well, insulin, pills, knee
injections, and doctors are keeping me up and running. I really can’t complain, but getting old does
have some drawbacks as I’m sure you all know.
Of course, this “winter in name only” and triple
digit temperatures, drought and no rain to speak
of, doesn’t help matters, and everything outside
looks terrible. But on the bright side, there is no
grass to cut and little outside work to be done.
But, we are not alone, most of the country is in
the same situation. Til next time, stay safe, keep
well, and God bless.
Russell and Betty Harvey: Lloyd, as I stated
in our phone conversation earlier, between going
to the Poconos about a week after Alumni Day,
and then on June 24, Betty and I went on a 7-day
cruise out of Bayonne, N.J., to Bermuda, and then
went back down to our shore house near Ocean
City, Md. I haven’t been around much to check
my e-mails. In the school year 2013-2014, Williamson will be celebrating its 125th anniversary,
so watch for some special events. My best to all
of you and remember, no matter how bad you
may feel as you live these golden years, it’s better
to be looking down at the sod than up at it.
John Heibeck: It’s mid-July and not much has
happened at the Heibeck front. Had one cataract
removed, considered replacing shoulder joint,
had therapy to relieve leg pain, and have more
aches than I had before the therapy. Going to have
a small cancer over my eyebrow removed and
will have plastic surgery after, as well as all the
little spots frozen. Am spending $3,600 for hearing aids, $1,000 for two crowns, and $1,100 to get
my golf cart fixed. Just throw in $710 each month
to pay lot rent in a mobile home park. Stupidest
thing I ever did. At least I have a beautiful view
of Rehobeth Bay. Could be worse. At least I wake
up every day, pay all my bills, have a little left
over, and have a nice lady friend. Oh, I forgot, I
have to put up with that guy in the White House.
Cheers buddies.
George Kern: No e-mail reply to three e-mail
requests and a phone call for class article. We
miss not getting e-mail news from you, George.
Fred and Mary Kreiser: Lloyd, I hope this isn’t
too late. Have not read e-mails lately. Recently, I
received a cortezone injection in my right ankle
for arthritis. The next day, I didn’t have to use the
cane. Praise the Lord! Also was fitted for a special
“boot” for foot support. Received it last month,
and it helps a lot. Our eldest son from Tennessee was here last month with most of his family.
We had lots of family fun, fellowship, and picnic
food. P.T.L. Our grandson, Jacob Fox, has three
years at the Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md.,
and he just returned a couple days ago from a 10day trip to Israel. Now we’re in the midst of worst
drought in Brooklyn, Mich., since summer 1988.
Received two passing showers lately. We need
more “Showers of Blessing.” For this we most
humbly plead, O dear Lord! Sincerely, Fred 5W1
(no longer Ono!)
Richard and Doris Rehrer: Lloyd, we thought
our house was sold, but three days before closing
we found out the buyers could not get a mortgage.
This was after everything else checked out fine.
You can imagine the disappointment. We know
God has better things in mind for us. We have
moved back to our house at 9915 Clubhouse Dr.,
Lakewood Ranch, FL 34202. Our other house
is for sale and we hope it sells soon. Other than
that, we have been relatively fine. Doris has had
a problem with an ulcer in her stomach which the
doctor said is healing, but it still bothers her. She
has lost a lot of weight due to not eating much
because of the discomfort. We’re still content
here in Florida since it’s the coolest place on the
planet. We hope to visit Pennsylvania shortly as
soon as we get our house sold. Thanks for keeping us all informed. Your old roomie.
Lloyd and Virginia Rennix: My left total-shoulder replacement is coming along just fine. I don’t
see the doctor again until January next year. I still
exercise it five times a week. The doctor said I am
doing fine and advancing ahead of schedule. Still
have a lot of stretching to do. The physical therapist said it would take a year to a year-and-a-half
to fully stretch and get the shoulder muscles in
shape. The neuropathy in both of my feet slowly
gets worse. I walk slowly, like an old man!! Virginia is doing well.
John and Peppa Robbins: I am doing very well.
I had to lower the price of
