Teresa & Bruce Liesemeyer, Unadilla, spent four days at the home of

grandsons, Kody, Logan, and Mitchell, while Jason and Lori went to
New Yourk to the premier of a documentary that Jason had participated
in while at NICoE at Bethesada Naval Hospital. Makaela Rumery,
Virginia Beach, VA, was also a visitor for the week.

Marcus Wilhelm is now home for 2 weeks from Afghanistan. Family
and friends welcomed him Friday night and a family dinner was held
Sunday noon, both at the home of Bev Wilhelm and Chuck Bjork.
It was good to see him with our own eyes, and we hope his time in
Nebraska doesn't go by too fast.

Sunday, November 13, Russell, Kevin, and KayLee Hull and Grandma
Karen Isaacs were driving down Highway 50, when they noticed a man
pushing a very large ball. They stopped to visit and found out this man
has been rolling this ball from Wisconsin, and was heading to Kansas.
His cause was to have people take more interest in diabetes, as he said
his mother has the disease. He also had a dog for company. Asked if
he was hungry, he replied he never turns down anything, so the got
him a subway sandwich, chips, and a drink. He was very
appreciative of the kindness. This was a good lesson for the Hull
children in being kind to others and Kevin said, "God bless you" as
they left.
