May 2024 - Robert Ehrke

 



We hope all of you are well and enjoying the spring weather.  Here is what is happening from the Bob Ehrke side of the family.

Bob

He continues to enjoy living at West Hill Village in Rapid City.  Uncle Bob is busy going to weekly exercise classes, educational presentations, coffee with friends and church when the weather is good.  He also follows South Dakota State baseball, basketball football and local high school sports.

Carol Bartnett

The St. Louis crew is healthy and staying busy. Carol continues as Quality Assurance manager at Novus International, Inc, working remotely with some occasional travel. Carol joined Brian’s family on a Disney cruise in December and all had a great time. Brian works as a manager for Enterprise in corporate financial analysis. He and Amber stay busy with their very active 3-year old, Eleanor, who is involved in swimming, gymnastics and soccer at a toddler level. She will soon have a sister as Brian and Amber are expecting in mid-June.

 

Barb & John Howe

We continue to enjoy volunteering for Guide Dogs of Texas, training guides dogs when we are home.  We made a nice trip to Phoenix visiting Betsy.  While there we went to a Willie Nelson concert—he still packs them in and there is a dedicated crowd of Willie-followers.  We also visited Thomas & Ellen in the San Diego area.  Thomas safely returned from his last 8-month deployment to the Middle East.  He will separate from the Navy at the end of May and enter the civilian workforce.  We also continue to hike & bike in AZ, CO, CA & TX.  We are going to South Dakota in late May to see Dad.  We enjoy hearing updates from all of your families.

OK, so what's been happening over the past year on Fran's family tree branch?  Lots!  I will start with her children's families in order of age, beginning with Judy's family.
