LOCAL NEWS

Bob & Barb Wilhelm spent five wonderful days in and around Branson, MO,

celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary early. Their daughters and

families joined in the fun, going to Silver Dollar City, boating on Table

Rock Lake, and the highlight (for the "old-timers" anyway) was eating at

Dick Clark's American Bandstand Cafe and seeing the Legends in Concert

Show - we love those Blues Brothers!

In the afternoon, the American Legion Auxiliary served the 43rd

Kathryn and Jemma Romine traveled with Kirk Ruzicka (Omaha) and his

two nieces, Taylor and Cheyenne Ruzicka (Morse Bluff) to Parsons,

Tennessee, the second week of June. They spent a week visiting the

Ruzicka's friend and Jemma's aunt, Wendy Johnson. Wendy and her

husband, William, entertained with a trip to Loretta Lynn's Dude Ranch,

a day of boating on the Tennessee River, a trip to the Country Music

Festival in Nashville, and a lot of fabulous home cooking. Kathryn

and Jemma want to say a big "thank you" to the Johnson

family of Parsons, Tennessee.
