… 1. FROM CHARLOTTE RENNA; SHE AND BOB RETURNED RECENTLY FROM MAUI, HAWAII IN THE TOWN OF KEHAI. THEY STAYED WITH HER SISTER AND HUSBAND (ROSEMARY AND BOB). THE WEATHER WAS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT AND IT WAS SUCH FUN TO VISIT WITH FAMILY. 2. FRED PARKS IS SCHEDULED FOR SURGERY ON HIS RIGHT HAND ON NOVEMBER 28. THE SURGERY WAS DESCRIBED AS CARPAL TUNNEL WITH OTHER PROCEDURES TO BE PERFORMED AT THE SAME TIME. 3. CHUCK AND LINDA LANINGHAM HAVE A BIT OF NEWS, ALSO. THEY ATTENDED THEIR GRANDDAUGHTER MEGHAN AND ELI’S WEDDING IN AUSTIN, TEXAS ON NOVEMBER 11. IT WAS A SMALL BUT BEAUTIFUL WEDDING. THEY ALSO WERE ABLE TO VISIT THEIR BEST FRIEND JACKIE AND HER HUSBAND ED. ED HAS BRAIN CANCER AND IT MIGHT BE THEIR LAST TIME TO SEE HIM. IT WAS BITTER SWEET BUT THEY ARE HAPPY TO BE HOME. 4. ROY AND MARYANN WHITSON RETURNED FROM A 12-DAY TRIP TO EGYPT, WHICH INCLUDED A SEVEN DAY FIVE NIGHT RIVERBOAT CRUISE ON THE NILE. THEY STARTED IN CAIRO AND WENT BEYOND ASWAN TO THE CLIFF TEMPLES OF ABU SIMBEL. THIS WAS A BUCKET LIST ITEM FOR ROY (ALTHOUGH MARYANN ENJOYED IT TOO.) THERE WAS SOME CONCERN ABOUT SAFETY, BUT THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF AT LEAST PERCEIVED SECURITY EVERYWHERE BEGINNING WITH POLICE WITH ASSAULT WEAPONS AND BOMB DOGS AT THE AIRPORT AND ALSO AT CHECK POINTS IN NUMEROUS LOCATIONS AROUND THE CITY, AS WELL AS METAL DETECTORS IN EVERY HOTEL WE WENT INTO. THEY FOUND THE EGYPTIANS TO BE FRIENDLY, NO DOUBT BECAUSE OF THE TOURISM, WHICH IS SO VITAL TO THE ECONOMY WHICH HAS REPORTEDLY DROPPED BY ABOUT 60%. THEY SAW THE GREAT PYRAMIDS (5,000 YEARS OLD), THE SPHINX, AND NUMEROUS OTHER TEMPLES, TOMBS AND MUSEUMS IN CITIES ALONG THE NILE. THEY ALSO RODE CAMELS AT THE PYRAMIDS. DRIVING IN CAIRO MAKES LA TRAFFIC SEEM SIMPLE, SO LUCKILY THEY ALWAYS HAD LOCAL DRIVERS. NASCAR DRIVERS WOULD HAVE TO TRAIN TO DRIVE THERE. IF YOU HAVE A DESIRE TO VISIT EGYPT, THEY WOULD ENCOURAGE TO DO SO. 5. JOYCE KROEKER HAS SOME GOOD NEWS ABOUT OUR DEAR ED. IT SEEMS THE PRAYERS AND RADIATION WORKED. THE CANCER TUMOR IS GONE. CHEERS!!!!! THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND GOOD THOUGHTS. 6. STEVE AND LYDIA GARCIA WERE NOT ABLE TO ATTEND THE MEETING BECAUSE THEY WERE BABYSITTING 3 OF THEIR GRANDCHILDREN WHILE THEIR MIDDLE DAUGHTER IS IN HAWAII WITH HER HUSBAND. BRAVE GRANDPARENTS, YOU ARE! 7. EMILY PIERCY NOW HAS HER OWN CORVETTE…….IT IS A 2010 GRAND SPORT. THE COLOR IS SIBER GRAY. CONGRATS, EMILY!! THANKS YOU AGAIN ALL MEMBERS FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS AND YOUR TIME TO DO SO.
