I hope all of you enjoyed watching the Olympics as much as
we did. It really did help us through some tough weather days these past two
weeks, so we are now at the end of the month and spring is only a few short
weeks away!
Link and Julie Brown escaped the rough weather by taking a
cruise with all of their family in celebration of their 50th wedding
anniversary. Getting to their destination proved to be quite a challenge for
them as the weather impacted flights all up and down the East Coast, Originally
scheduled to fly from Portland, they were informed just before leaving for the
airport that their flight had been cancelled, After many hours on both the
phone and the computer they were lucky enough to catch a flight out of Manchester
N.H. travelling to Detroit then on to Atlanta. From there they connected to
Florida. Flights were delayed all along the route but with persistence and some
luck they were able to make the ship’s departure on time. Apparently their trip
had been in the planning stages for the last five 5 years so they were
extremely relieved when they were finally able to board ship. They had a
wonderful time with their children and grandchildren enjoying all of the
amenities that the ship had to offer, such a special time on such a special
occasion for a very special couple. Happy Anniversary Link and Julie!!!
The Webster Family were all busy over the President’s Day
weekend, Steven, his wife Theresa, and their children Nicole and Ethan met for
a quick ski trip to Utah, Ethan is a freshman at George Washington University
in D.C. and is enjoying his college experience. Kim Webster who lives in St
Louis flew to New York for a reunion with her Colgate College roommates,
something they try to do each year. Kim interviewed for a new position with a
law firm that will allow her the opportunity to have a home office. Jean is
busy preparing for her chorus group’s performance of ”Shakespeare in Concert”,
a program that pairs Portland actors with chorus members. The performance is
scheduled for March 7,8 and 9th at the Bowdoin Chapel. Jean is happy
to provided tickets for anyone who is interested.
In recent news from Dianne Eakin, Dianne reports that things
are very busy in Bonita Springs and she had just played a round of golf with
Joyce Richter and Pam Nolan. (Hopefully we all will be playing a round of golf
very soon)! Dianne is looking forward to visiting her brother Steve and his
wife Maggie in South Carolina. Her daughter Debi will join them as well.
The weather report calls for a return to the Polar Vortex
this upcoming week so stay warm and have a great week. Thanks for all your
news.
