My Dad & I visited my Aug Peg, my cousin Marilyn and her daughter, Bobbi.

Jane and I took my Dad to the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, IN. Afterward we donated at the Casino, we met my cousin Sis and her husband, Chuck at the Purple Steer to eat dinner.

Jane took my Dad and me out to a Lithuanian Restaurant for lunch while I was home visiting.

The 12th of June I flew home for a short visit with my Dad. My cousin Daniel was coming up to Chicago from Atlanta, GA. He picked up my Dad and me, and we drove up to Delavan, WI to meet my Dad's brother Howard and his son Bruce. We had a very nice visit, and this was the first time I met my cousin Bruce, and I hadn't seen my Uncle Howard since 1963. I think it meant an awful lot to my Dad to see his brother again.

My brother Jack and his wife Angie went over to Shoeshone Falls near Twin Falls, ID a couple of weeks ago. We've had a lot of snow and rain this year, so the falls really are moving. These are some pictures that they took - really looks beautiful.

Grandson Luke made his Confirmation last month. I was honored to be his sponsor and Steve stood in in my place. Good picture of the three of them, Luke is getting taller.
