Sep- Oct Update
Posted Friday, October 14, 2011 02:26 PM

 Well the month of September just slipped right by without an update!  I guess time speeds up the older we get.  It was on a sad note that I learned of Mike Prather's passing on 9/13.  I'll always remember Mike because he lived close to us and passed by daily on the way to school.  He always had a smile and a friendly word and will be missed.  Again thanks to Barbara Baldwin Moser for the update.  Here is a link to Mike's obit in the 13 Sep Reporter: http://www.reporter-times.com/stories/2011/09/13/obits.qp-3796073.sto?1318622515 in case you missed it. 

 On a brighter note, the Martinsville FB team just celebrated a victory over Mooresville in Lucas Oil Stadium!  Who would have ever thought our Artesians would be sharing the turf with the likes of Peyton Manning?  (Speaking of Peyton and the Colts' home turf, hopefully we will see him back out there soon) 
 
We have some birthdays coming up soon:  Susan Cramer Brewer… 10/20, Jim Baker 11/1, Michael Walker 11/1, Jim Ritter 11/3 and Harriet Hall MacLaughlin… 11/9.  Be sure to wish them all a Happy one.  No doubt the Fall foliage is in bloom.  I had hoped to make it back for the Festival but Teresa had last minute health issues and we were forced to cancel. She is doing better now.  Looks like we will celebrate Thanksgiving in Indy instead.  In the meantime, keep in touch and give a friendly "nudge" to our classmates who have not yet joined our site.
