Birthday party – Dale Hanaman reached the big 76 on May 1 with birthday greetings via phone from children, grandchildren, family and friends from Connecticut to Wisconsin. Dale and Nancy enjoyed celebrating with their daughter and family, Sarah and Benji Pearson, Elizabeth and Andrea at the Lucky Pig in Ogden, complete with those in their location in the restaurant joining in with a resounding rendition of Happy Birthday. Thanks to all who helped celebrate his birthday.
Rippey Lions Club – The Rippey Lions Club will hold a potluck meeting Thursday, May 6, at the Rippey United Methodist starting at 7 pm. The main dish will be furnished so those attending are asked to bring dessert, salad or any side dish.
Rick Liebich, president, will lead the meeting. Plans for a June meeting, Rippey’s 150th+1 in July, and meeting dates beginning in September will be among topics to be discussed.
Jean’s Jottings – When I hand delivered Phil Roberts his birthday card last week, I was fortunate I could actually visit him and Toni in person instead of standing outside their window. We had a wonderful visit and look forward to more of the same.
Sunday when I visited Phyllis Gannon I was able to see her granddaughter Becky Gannon and her son Rance of Amarillo, TX. They flew in for a surprise visit and capped off a week of out of town and state visits of family, which Phyllis enjoyed.
Rance is one of several great-grandchildren of Phyllis who will graduate from high school at the end of the month.
Laurie Gannon also stopped in and reflected how blessed she and Rick are for the response of family and friends who sent cards or called them last week, congratulating them of their 50th wedding anniversary.
