Roscoe Henry, another one of the “Old Timers” has passed away. (reported by Bob Millslagel) 

Gale Rector is doing very well following knee replacement surgery a week ago. He was home by Sunday and getting started on his re-hab. He says he has lots of exercises to do and no time for kicking back and watching a lot of football.  See you soon in the Peanut Gallery, Gale.

Pat Bromley is home from the hospital after an "episode" early Friday.  The doctors are not sure what was going on yet, but she is being treated for a mini-stroke type condition.  She has gotten some much needed rest and good food since coming home.  Daughter Sue and puppy Molly are keeping Pat company.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Bob Burris whose father passed away on November 30, 2009.
