On September 20, 2008 Mai, Dave and Gene Wilson went fishing with Tony McMorris at the Olney Lake. We left our home in Oblong Illinois and met Tony at his house at one o’clock for the trip to the lake in his boat. We were all excited for the chance to fish and to become better acquainted with Tony.

Mai was excited as she had never been fishing before. She likes to eat fish and was hoping for some new taste delights if we caught some nice fish. We caught fish! Mai caught the largest one of the outing, a six pound catfish! Dave and I both caught smaller fish.

Randy has a home for his bride

This may be the place where my friend Randy will start his life with his new bride in only a few months! I do wish them a happy and wonderful life together. I hope Randy will be able to continue to afford a house of this quality in light of the current economic downturn.

May you have many happy and wonderful years together!

There was a family get together for Dad’s 90th birthday party on September 28, 2008 at his home in rural Robinson, Illinois. Many family members were there for the celebration and our thoughts were with those who were unable to attend.

Dad seemed to enjoy his birthday and we certainly enjoyed being with him as he celebrated 90 years of life.

Below are some pictures of the day.
