although we hope he’s back real soon.
Happy Bucks
Roger Grove, my happy buck is
for the computer tests I have been taking on the internet. I am sure my son,
a computer engineer who I may have embarrassed in the past, is proud.
Bob Nelson, I have a happy
buck, as I was notified this morning I won second place in the State Bar
short story contest. I brought it up here because it is based on a speaker
we had here at Kiwanis.
Jo Grubbe, I have a sad
dollar for the passing of Dan Goff, a very fine gentleman and a member of
the South Lansing Kiwanis Club.
Jim McCartney, I have a happy
buck because on July 1st I celebrated 59 years of marriage to a
wonderful woman. Congratulations, Mary and Jim!
Larry Pingel, a happy buck
for my middle daughter who is being married on Friday of next week. Our
youngest daughter got married last year so there has been a lot of wedding
talk around our house for the last two years.
Bill Maher, my happy buck is
for Hannah’s House and all the good work they do. In October they have
"Deserts From Around the World" and it is really great if you like deserts.
Nicholas Ferreri, and I have
a happy buck for the Nashville convention and my vacation at home.
