I had a phone call this week from Mary Smelser back in Michigan.  She wants everyone to be aware that there will be NO Michigan Picnic this year. 

Alice Petersen, Peacock, fell this week and fractured her hip in 4 places. She is in the hospital and will be transferred to a rehab facility.

Does anyone have any health concern or updates that they would like to share?

I am sorry to report the death of Joe Angelo, 371 Hawkeye, on June 30 at his son’s home in Chesterton, IN.  He had cancer.  Please keep Joe’s family and friends in your thoughts and prayers.

This morning I received a call from Peggy Wanamacher, Aloha.  I am sad to report that Bob Wanamacher passed this morning at 5 am.  Bob is survived by his wife, Peggy, 4 children, many grandchildren and his twin brother, Roland (Golden).  He was a Veteran of the Korean War in 1950 to 1953 in the Marines.  Bob was 90 years old.  Please keep Peggy, Roland, and the rest of Bob’s family and friends in your thoughts and prayers.

A moment of silence in remembrance of Joe Angelo and Robert Wanamacher followed by Taps in honor of Bob’s service in the Marines.
