Longtime friends Art Hampton (#94) (left) and Gene Schrader (#70) share a laugh at the Timber Valley Board Agenda meeting earlier this week.
Former Timber Valley member Maxine Riddell called Jimmy Smith and me on Monday night to let us know that Art will be celebrating his 94th birthday on June 18. So if you see the smiling Gemini, give him a big hug. And by the way, Maxine, we miss you lots. Please stop by and visit the park.
The weather was perfect and scores of Timber Valley members and guests turned out in Snoopy’s Meadow for the potluck Memorial Day Picnic.
The two recently acquired 10′ by 10′ awnings provided much appreciated additional shade for the first picnic of the season. Special thanks to Art Hampton and the Bocce Ball crew for setting up the picnic tables and chairs. And, to all the other volunteers.
Music was provided by (from left) David Burns (AWL), Ruby and Ed Bonham (#175) and Nathan Brown (#5)
