HI:

92 years ago today your Uible grandparents were married.  Yes, we recall the open house on their 50th anniversary and John comment on why we did not keep the front door opened.  It must have been a cool day.  That 1962 week also marked our departure for the five week out west trip, where we made the grand swing and met the Schamauns in Seattle for the Worlds Fair..

Today we are resting up (??), though we got off to a good garden start this AM with rhubarb, asparagus, peas and broccoli out of the garden.  This PM we went to Wilmington for a Doctor's help on Peach'seace's [sic] ivy itch.

Spoke with Bob Gooding this evening, said the accident happened in downtown Dayton when they were en route to Lisa's house for Sunday lunch.

Anxious to hear from MV as to her northern trip and looking forward to the families return trip later this month.

Speaking of reunions, it would be nice to get together in Newark for Kate's performance at Thanksgiving time.  You are welcome to come here to New Vienna but if you only can come for a short time perhaps Newark would be best.

Cris Horton also wrote us about getting together.  Any thoughts about this from the Newark Uibles?  I'm sure you all would be welcome to join us if you could see the light to do this.  Do let us know if you would consider this!!!!!

Dad says to send this before it disappears.  Love to each one of you!!!!!!  Mother and Dad

     for the email, Mom and Dad. How bad is your poison ivy, Mom?  Any idea where you picked it up?  I do remember the Open House for Grandma and Grand-dad.  It was a real Kodak moment.  I have a plate that Grandma bought 92 years ago!  It is just one shelf above the chamber pot in the china cabinet!  Would be neat to have a Uible get together in November!  It is too early for me to be able to ask for time off form work, but by October I am hopeful that we will have another staff person so should not be a problem!  So far I do not have any furniture there [at work], but I do plan to hang two of Joe's paintings before Monday!  They will go directly from one office to the next.

Am watching Larry King so more later.  Tim Russert is on . . . . . I do have lots of empty space in the email area now.  Hint, hint, Love, Roberta.

July would be the best month for us.  Do you have any plans next weekend for Father's Day?  We could meet you some where Sat. evening or Sunday afternoon if you are free.  We have a wedding this afternoon in Knox County near Gambier.  Talk to you soon.  Love, John

We are open for next weekend, but please do not feel obligated as we had a get together earlier this wee.

On the Horton meeting, the weekends of July 24 and 31 are fine with us.  Would you mind checking with Cris as to those weekends.  Was it Bellefontaine that we met last year?  I recall Cris had another place in mind, but the water level in the lake was too high.  Thanks.  --Dad

Dad and Mom,
I talked with Cris this afternoon and he still prefers Mary Rutan Park.  He is looking for you and Mom somewhere between 1-2PM near the entrance to the swimming pool.  Since no shelter houses are available, please bring a card table and your chairs so we can have a place to set food and sit down.  We should arrive around 2 or 2:15 since I work until noon.  In case of rain, we can eat at either Ryans or Homestead, both on U. S. 68.  See you tomorrow - call if you have questions.  Love, John
