   The Ponderosa in Jacksonville IL was the gathering place for this months luncheon.  Unfortunately, no one remembered a camera. Don gave a very emotional speech telling how much he loved his family and was thankful for all of them.  Dale gave the prayer and also spoke of family and how he prayed for Don and his health.

Those attending were: Dale & Florence along with their Daughters Bonnie & Earlene.  Also, Bonnie's daughter Tara.  Vince & Muriel Reagor (Mabel Blimling's niece and husband); Eloise Crawford, Donna Jean Riffey & Debbie Huff;  Marjorie & Mabel;  Don & Tottie and daughter in law Debbie; Ted & Millie Tendick, and Eloise Cain (Clint Cain's Mother); Dean & Pauline and Charles & Bobbie.

February's luncheon is set for February 22nd in Springfield.

Time and place to be announced.

Our Family

Our family is a circle of

Strength and love.

With every birth

And every marriage

The circle grows.

Every joy shared

Adds more love.

Every crisis

Faced together makes

The circle stronger.
