Norman & Rose Ann Duncan traveled to Sawyer, North Dakota, the first week in September to visit Brian and family. They had a great time playing with the grandkids. Norm found out that Charley likes to whistle and Sammy thought there was too much family since he had to eat at a different table. They visited Minot and witnessed the major destruction after the flood; 4100 homes being damaged. The water stopped three houses away from Brian’s house, thank goodness!

For those of you with gym memberships at the Community Center, the Board recently purchased a new Bowflex machine. No more excuses – it’s time to work out!

Instead of a meeting on October 13th, OCGS encourages you to attend "Nebraska in the Civil War", 7 pm, Morton-James Public Library, 923 First Corso, Nebraska City. GAR Museum curator, David Wells, will give the presentation. He uses Nebraska City and Omaha newspapers from that time period, explores what was being reported here in the Nebraska Territory, and how it affected our response to the war effort.
Hope to see you there!
