I just heard that the memorial service for Bernie and Alvie will be Thur. Jan 22 from 3 to 8 PM at Conway Funeral Home in Cresco

Fire in Cresco

Linda received a phone call from Rosie this evening with an update on the fire. The bodies have not been fully identified yet. they are pretty sure it is the two boys, but don't know which is which. There will be a memorial service, but it has not been scheduled yet. When we find out the info we will post it. Bernie was 52, Alvie was 47. If anyone would like to contact one of their family members, this is the info we have.........Kenny's cell phone 563-547-1700.....Rosie's cell phone 563-419-9330. As of yet, there is not idea of what caused the fire. The wood stove was put in @ a month ago.......Kenny helped Bernie put in the stove.

Not a Good Start to the New Year

Well our new year has not started great but we are still thankful!! Matt and Liz had a fire at their place Sunday and lost the shop/barn but no one was injured. I have not heard yet how many of his tools, ect. in the shop are gone but are thankful it is only "stuff". There was a fireman that was limping but don't know if it happened down there, they were also at a fire Saturday where a shed was lost. Matt thinks the fire started from the wood stove, but the stove was still closed and burning correctly with the smoke going up the chimney when we were there - funny how you could tell that with all the smoke. Will post again when we know more. Hope you are all doing well and stay safe!

June, 2009 family reunion

Greetings,
It's time to start thinking about the summer family reunion........if anyone has an idea for location, please POST it. Linda has said that there is a hall/room at Oronoco Estates, no kitchen, but we can use crock pots, and there is a refrigerator, 2 bathroom, and a playground outside. We can plan on using one of the parks in Stewartville, Rochester, or anywhere else someone knows of a good park, the problem with the parks is, we usually can not reserve them, and you never know what the weather will be like. Of course, the price is usually right......no charge. This is being planned for the last Sat in June. So everyone get it marked on your calendar, and let those that don't check this blog/ or don't have computers/ or whatever reason they may not know about the date.
Lets start throwing out ideas, so we can make plans. I really liked the soup potluck idea for the Christmas Party, but that may not be as good in the summer. So what ideas does everyone have...........maybe make your own sub, with salads???????????
Let's hear your thoughts
Thanks
Mary
