Mike Stoner

Our classmate Mike Stoner passed away earlier today. 

Mike served in the Active Army for 4 years in Germany.  He spent rest of his military career in the National Guard winding up as a company commander. 

Mike worked for the Army as a civilian computer scientist after receiving a degree in computer science from UW Superior.  Mike was employed in Yuma AZ at Yuma proving ground.  Mike worked for me initially there; he went on to place commercial PC’s in to testing equipment. 

Mike retired a few years back and lived alone.  He was a great help to his neighbors most of whom were part time residents staying for the winter. 

Mike will be missed by many.

I'm sorry to hear that we have lost another classmate.  It is so important to stay in touch with eachother as we age.....

Anyone have plans for the 70 degree heat wave this week end? Awesome wonders!

Where is everyone? On facebook? Beautiful weather today! (10 days since last post).

Steven Bilderback

I'm here.
I just recieved my first email notification of a new post in about three years so it will be easier to track what is going on.
Dave, it's fine with me if you would like to cancel winter this year. 
 

Steven Kaufhold

Steve, that's a great idea.. Dave, yes please cancel winter..

David Frazer

Why would I cancel winter? I just bought all this ice fishing equipment to take the grandkids out!

Warning Grand - great grand pa joke to tell those kids!    I was barbecuing out on the deck and my neighbor said, "Smells great! What are you cooking?"          "It is a Wookiee!"                   "What's it taste like?"          "It's Chewie."

Steven Bilderback

Wow, David Frazer is like going to be 29 years old next week! That's like almost 30.
Remember when 30 was really, really old?
Happy almost birthday Dave! 🥳

David Frazer

Thanks Steve! Those darn hippies teaching us not to trust anyone over 30. Now what should we do? Can't even trust myself.

Thanks Bob! People corrected my pronunciation all the time, my “Pastor” was pronounced “Pasture.” When corrected, I told them it is pronounced pasture because I was always getting dumped on. By the way, for my birthday I asked for all these political ads to be done. I think my birthday wish will be answered.

Yvette Fuchs (Nierenhausen)

Happy Birthday to all the boys and girls born in my favorite month of November!  I hope that everyone enjoys their special day, and gets all kinds of Hugs, Love & Peace!   Winter is right around the corner, so stay warm and healthy my friends! 

David Frazer

Speaking for all our November Birthdays! Thank you Yvette.

Thinking of you on Veteran's Day,

Sometimes saying "thank you" seems small when your service has been anything but that - it has made a difference in more ways than you can see and more lives than you'll ever know.

Thank you!!!! 

David Frazer

Avis, thank you! I just had three cancellations/no fills in my schedule so I went to Red Lobster for the free meal. Wow! The mooch facter is pretty high for us Veterans. The poor lady working so hard... she said she was working hard since it opened. I tried to tip her and she refused to take anything (not even for my Pop). People are so kind, food, grocery store discounts, Cabela's, coupons for food, breakfast, lunch and dinner, hair cut + coupons, I am glad the Lord called me into the Army just so I could experience how thankful people can be (i.e., in 1991, the whole airport clapping as our task force walked into the terminal).

Denise Doffing (Viall)

Happy Birthday to all of the November birthdays! Does anyone know what Jennifer Olson died of?

Avis Bevins (Lorenz)

Veterans definitely deserve their day.  Being in the service isn't easy.  Dad served in WWII and had many scars that laid under the surface.  I'm not sure if those scars helped him to be the wonderful dad he was or if he was wonderful in spite of what happened.  He never spoke about it.  They did give him the Bronze Star and a Purple Heart.  

Take care and may God bless you.
