Happy Dollars:
Bob Shankman was not happy, but had a story to tell.  He and Kathie went to a funeral in Massachusetts and Kathie tripped and broke her ankle.  She had complications with her surgery due to an infection.  She still needs another operation.  Once she has surgery, it may take between 4 to 6 weeks for recovery. 
He also mentioned that Sally Tomasino was in the hospital.  
Our prayers for both of them.
Mike Hanifan enjoyed the golf outing.
He was very happy that his daughter contacted him through facebook messenger while she went north through the Bering Sea to avoid the typhoon.
