Phil the groundhog relaxing off Key West.

Back to Phil the groundhog story...when I said he would be
put on the back burner for a while as it was income tax season I got to
thinking that maybe the back burner on the stove, skinned, cleaned, and in a
pot of boiling water! I just found out that he lied to everyone about how much
winter is left, then he skips town two days later….Someone grabbed this photo
of him down in Key West. So I guess we
can just leave him down there and enjoy the nice weather while we have it. I am
sure it will end eventually!
I saw my radiologist for 3 hours yesterday (Wednesday). He
is such a nice Dr. and I think this is going to be a good and successful
partnership. He said this is one of the best places for the cancer to be as
there is nothing by it that radiation will damage. I got measured and tattooed
and went into a ct machine, had pictures taken and had an air mold made for me
to lay on when I have the radiation. I will have 15 treatments, one per day for
3 weeks and then another 5 treatments later on. He figured it should be fairly
easy to kill this. Yay. I don't have my schedule yet but will find out in 5-10
days. I am feeling pretty upbeat about
this.

The following is a letter to the RYDER COMMUNITY.
Ryder housing is in desperate need of Housing Board
Members!!! Over the years we have had difficulty getting folks to volunteer
to be a member. We have 3 members but need 5. If we do not get any
interest, the 4-plex might have to be sold! This would affect Ryder residents
as well as out of town residents who need an affordable place to live.
If someone else buys the building, we do not know who they
would rent to, or what they would charge for rent, or if it would be shut down
completely.
Please help us keep our Ryder Housing locally owned.
Call: Harlan Skarphol at 758-2429 or Carey Larson at
758-2292.
Dwight Paulson had dinner with home town friends at the
Organ Stop Pizza in Mesa, AZ last week. The largest pipe organ in the world was
there, 6,000 pipes. Am spending time with Ron and Muriel Peterson. They are
both classmates and I stay with them on the farm when I go home to Ryder, ND.
On Friday night several more classmates will join us for cook out. I am so
thankful for all the fine friends I keep getting to spend time with.

Old Roseglen News: I
sure have been receiving some nice phone calls and emails regarding this old
time news. My readers of that era love it...I hope I don’t run out before Faye
Karna gets back as she is the one that feeds it to me!
“Following the program many tried their luck in the Cake Walk on the stage, to the tune of 10 cents per walk, which continued until every cake had walked away with it’s proud winner!The women who served on the lunch program were kept busy doling out chili burgers, hot dogs, cake and hot coffee until the wee hours of the morning.Winner of the Door Prize, the baby beef, was Eddie Varty of Makoti. The Shetland pony was by 8 week old Julie Zimmerman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dale Zimmerman of Emmet. The sheep was won by Edmund Iverson of Emmet. 10 acres of aerial spray went to Darwin Vangsness of Roseglen and 5 bushels of Durum was won by Leonard Kolden of Roseglen.”
