From Wanda Bokoski

Your mom and I were co-chairs on All Saints flower Guild for 2 years, and enlisted our husbands to come down for big festivals to help...putting up huge wreaths on wobbly ladders, securing 15 foot Christmas trees, hanging garlands and arrangements over the organ and other unreachable places. Jim came up with various titles he and Stan could aspire to as flower Guild husbands: twig...green beginnerbranch...more experiencedtrunk... long time expertstump...past their prime, retired They were given the golden branch award for their tireless dedication during Christmas 2006...I will try to find the photo of the "award ceremony". What a good natured, great Dad you have! Wanda Bokoski

From Diane and David Barber

David and I are very new friends of your parents. It is been our pleasure to get to know them through All Saints' Church and the Flower Guild. We are very grateful for their friendship and smiling faces most Sunday's down front on the epistle side of All Saints'.
The Flower Guild is great about arranging and displaying beautiful flowers but when it comes to taking them down we get very few volunteers ..... 2 exceptions, your Mom and Dad are always there to help. Check out Jim's muscles from toting and lifting hundreds and hundreds of flowers, he' buff!

We also share a love for travel, however, they are way ahead of us.....China and now Egypt. We are taking notes and saving our pennies.

We have had so many conversations about their grandchildren, in Atlanta and Oregon. How wonderful for the entire family to have 2 little grandson's and a daughter living at home. It makes all of us other grandparents green with envy!

Jim, have a very Happy Birthday. David and I wish you and Mary Helen many years of good health and good luck.

See you down front,
Diane and David Barber
