Well, people are saying that “Spring is right around the corner” and we can finally get what turned out to be one of the worst winters in three decades over with. I think the snow fall this year was a bit reminiscent of the winters we had growing up. That “jet stream” did have a tendency to droop farther south since then though, bringing snow to places that never really experienced it in the past. Don and Howard certainly received their fair share of the white stuff out in the Philadelphia area, while the folks up in Wisconsin pretty much dodged the bullet…compared to out east anyway. We saw a long winter here in Southern Indiana, longer than normal. Even the temperatures were on average 20 degrees below normal. Let’s all hope we can put the season behind us soon.
Jill has found a nice job out there in Omaha recently. She’ll be in the billing department at Werner Trucking and will be learning the ins and outs of the business side of the trucking industry. I happened to talk with a couple Werner drivers down here and mentioned to them that they should look her up when they’re at the main office, just say hi and “welcome aboard”…to sort of make her feel at home type thing. I doubt if they will because most truck drivers I talk with prefer to stay far away from the home office. In any case, with her experience she’ll fit right in. Congrats. By the way, Jill will celebrating her 60th birthday in March and a few of us will be traveling to Omaha for a visit over the weekend of March 13th. Happy Birthday.
Another birthday will be Aaron’s on the 29th. Jo’s birthday will be March 4th. Let us know if anyone else can be included this month.
Judy told me some interesting information a few weeks ago; it just may turn out that my wife’s Great Grandmother may be the sister of our Aunt Jesse’s Grandmother. You remember Aunt Jesse, Uncle Fred’s wife? I remember Jo introducing me to Ersa Rassmasun (spelling), her Great Grandmother, before we got married. Jo says if this is true it could explain why our kids are messed up! (She was only kidding, of course). If anyone would like to comment on this, please feel free to do so.
Terry’s daughter, Darcy, has not been called up to help out with Haiti at this printing, We think she’s doing a wonderful thing by volunteering her expertise. If she does get down to Miami, Mike said he would be happy to write an article about her travels here.
