Reunion plans

Hi, I should have mentioned in my last email that there will probably be 10 or more of us staying at Zepher Point. We will devide our time between the cabin and Pollock Pines. There is a lot to do at Zepher Point: There is a lake to swim in and nice hiking trails. And, of course it's close to the action at Lake Tahoe. We're looking forward to the reunion. Hope you all are too.
Love, Phyllis A.

News from Illinois

Hello Everybody:

Here's wishing each of you all the best in 2008. The holidays were a wonderful time. We had a chance to see some of my brothers and sisters in Hoosierland. Sue put us up at her house. We visited at Deb's and got to see Justin and Lisa's new baby. Then on to Larry's to go four-wheelin' in the snow. Saw three white tails that day. Two deer, and one riding behind Larry going over the hill down by the river.

Julie takes care of her mom, and manages the kitchen at our church. Sarah graduates from Carhage College this spring with a double major. One in Elementary Ed. and one in Church Music. She starts student teaching in a few weeks and should be teaching this fall.

I am still working lots of hours, and am glad the sale of Abbott Diagnostics to GE didn't work out. There is some other news I want to share with you. I found out Jan. 17th that I have prostate cancer. It was caught early, so with prompt and proper treatment, all should work out fine. I spoke with both Carl and Jack tonight for some uncle style advice. E-mail me if you have any questions. I am quickly becoming a research pro.

That's it for now. Keep the news coming. You are all in my prayers.

Love, Rick, Julie, and Sarah Gates

Happy New Year!!

Hi all,

I haven't checked our Fowler Clan blog for many months. Hope you all get in on the action again in 2008. It's nice to get the news from all of you.

We are all fine here. We had a wonderful Christmas gathering with the whole family. We took lots of pictures because it's so diffficult to get everyone together.

Speaking of all getting together... we are really excited about next summer's reunion. Keep us posted on all the latest plans. I hope we have a good turnout. We sure picked a great place. Tahoe is one of our favorite vacation places.

I'm typing this upstairs and Bill is watching the Charger game downstairs. The neighbors are having a big "Game Day" party. I can tell the by all the noise that the Chargers are ahead. Guess I'll join Bill for the last 15 minutes of the game.

Hoping to hear the latest with all of you.....Love, Phyllis A
