In Michigan celebrating my grandson Chris' high school graduation. Will be in Indiana next week. Having a good time. Michigan, at this time of year, has all 4 seasons in one day! For example, yesterday was 90 degrees and sunny and beautiful (reminded me of Florida), and today was high of 59, rainy and windy and cold. BRRRR But, we are having a great time with our daughters and son-in-laws and grandchildren. Looking forward to seeing all of our friends at OA in August. See you in August. Love, Wayne and Mary |
This note from Fred and Nancy Jacobs,
Nancy competed in the NY senior games this week in swimming 6 events from 500 yard to 50 yard, various strokes and got three silver and 2 bronze medals. We are all very proud of her. I guess all her swimming in the pool paid off.

A note from the Ferrittos:
| The girls and I arrived here in Niagara Falls after a day
and a half car ride. Please tell our friends at OA not to complain about
the heat back there...They have the all windows open here at our
daughters home and it feels like an ARTIC blizzard blowing on us. We
love the Niagara area, we love our family and friends and we also will
be very glad to get back to 98 Loren drive .....and the 98 degree warm
breezes there.
