Happy Dollars
Gary Miller enjoyed the district golf tournament and won the putting contest.
Dale Bronson was at Yankee Stadium last week with Peter Vignati. There was a storm delay and they left early, missing some of the action in the Yankees' win. He was also happy about his visit to Yale the next day. He found out that he is cancer free and has good blood counts. His next appointment is in October when his donor will be in CT. He expects to get the ultimate pic with the two people who saved his life.
Larry Haber was headed on a one-day trip to Kansas City where he will meet up with a friend he hasn't seen since 1967.
Gary Hyde was also happy about the district tournament. He is happy that his grandchildren are coming although he described it as the chaos moving north.
Evan Cooper put in $1 for Joanne Santiago who was in Australia. Her own happy dollar was for her son Ben who will stay in Namibia another year. He will be home in November and will speak to the club.
Phil Ferrari, a devoted RedSox fan, was headed to Fenway. However, the RedSox were going to be in NYC. Phil was going to see James Taylor. We heard that Paul Mikkelson was headed to Yankee Stadium during the weekend.
Rollie Sterrett read a joke about a hot mama. We had been missing his jokes.
Arnie Goldman had a 60' pine tree near his how shatter and do all sorts of damage, including wiping out all electrical devices in his house. Painful!
Bill Barnes put in a happy dollar in honor of Tom and Mary Ellen Voorhees's 60th anniversary the day before and gave credit Mary Ellen for the success of the marriage. Tom said he was happy that they had had 45 good years -a .750 average in baseball would make him an all star.
Jolly Lux was happy about the anti-seizure program at her medical camp in Uganda. The program is growing and has helped 250+ people to be seizure free, which also allows them to lead better lives by being employed and doing the ordinary things of life.
Michelle Hagan was happy to be back from her vacation in ME. She is amazed that her daughter Jillian is now 13 and getting so grown up. She is now with U.S. Trust in West Hartford and happy with her new group.
Salin Low was happy to have 5,000 grocery bags donated by Chuck Joseph and ShopRite of Canton. They will be used to make mats for homeless people to sleep on - water proof and insulated.
