As a greater number of people purchased newer homes, the more they found
themselves living in CICs. There were advantages; but like anything else, the
more people with diverse back grounds were bound to follow CC&Rs, which
were put in place by a developer; issues arose when they seemed too restrictive.
While it can be argued that living in a CIC keeps home values higher, because
owners are required to keep their property at a certain standard or face possible
fines and or liens for not doing so, it also results in some people rebelling for
being “forced” to comply. A CIC is not for everyone.
Over the last seven years that I have served on the Board, the biggest issue
has been the collection of assessments to maintain the common elements of
the community, while addressing the ever-increasing cost of public utilities for
essential services. Another factor has been, in my opinion, the over-regulation

Cities pushed developers to create CICs with the intention of reducing the
burden of the city to maintain certain elements in the community, such as
code compliance; flood zone maintenance; streets; street lights and sidewalk
maintenance (in gated communities); infrastructure; perimeter walls; perimeter
landscaping; backflow maintenance; and parks and recreational areas.

In Nevada alone, there were approximately 828,712 homes, as of January 2013,
and 484,585 of these homes were in a CIC, roughly 57% of all homes in the
state. There are close to 3,000 CICs, and these numbers continue to increase.
Homeowners associations first emerged in the United States in the mid-19th
century. Their growth was limited, however, until the 1960s, when several factors
led to a period of rapid national growth, including, a push towards large scale
residential development by the Federal Housing Authority and the Urban Land
Institute; an increasing cultural preference for architectural uniformity; a decline
of readily available land; rising construction costs; and a modification of federal
mortgage insurance rules to include cooperatives and condominiums.

Did you know we are not alone when it comes
to living in a Home Owners Association (HOA),
also known as a Common Interest Community
(CIC)? Like mini-governments, homeowners
associations have spread about the country
with the aim of helping homeowners maintain
their property values by instituting rules and
regulations about who can do what in the
neighborhood. They also provide important
services such as, landscaping and upkeep
of community areas, pool houses and playgrounds. They are also somewhat
controversial. In many communities, buying a home means you’re tethered
to the homeowners association, and if you don’t pay your assessments, the
association can lien to collect monies owed and may even foreclose on your
house. From 1970 to 2010, the number of associations leaped almost 3,000
percent, and in that time, they’ve dramatically changed home ownership.

Dear Residents:
year to provide if October 31 fell on a Sunday, the Nevada Day
state holiday would be held the following Monday. In 1971, the law
governing holidays was amended again to designate Friday as the
state holiday when October 31 falls on a Saturday.
Happy Birthday Nevada!
Nevada Day is a state holiday in
Nevada; and like other legal holidays
we observe, state, county and
city offices, courts, public schools
and the Nevada System of Higher
Education are closed. Here at Sun
City Aliante, the Administrative
Offices will be closed.
On November 3, 1998, Nevada voters advised the 1999 legislature
that they wanted to celebrate Nevada Day on the last Friday of
October beginning in 2000. The legislature eventually complied.
Since then, Nevada Day has been celebrated on the last Friday of
October. Nevada Day is October 31 but is to be observed on the last
Friday in October.
Symbols
Nevada’s symbols include: the Desert Bighorn Sheep (state animal);
the Mountain Blue Bird (state bird); the Lahontan Cutthroat Trout
(state fish); the sagebrush (state flower); the Ichthyosaur (state fossil);
the black fire opal (state precious gem); and the desert tortoise
(state reptile). Nevada’s state song is “Home Means Nevada,” the state
slogan is “Battle Born,” and the state colors are silver and blue.

Nevada Day is celebrated on the
last Friday of October each year. It
commemorates Nevada’s frontier
legacy and its entry into the Union
as the 36th state on October 31, 1864.
What do people do?
Nevada Day is a legal holiday throughout the state, but some of the
most festive celebrations are in Carson City where a large parade has
been held since 1938. Other events held to celebrate Nevada Day
in Carson City include, a rock drilling contest, a battle of the bands,
a beard contest and various sporting events. Some people tour the
governor’s mansion, while others take part in a Nevada Day PowWow. There are also evening events such as concerts or balls.
Public life
Nevada Day is state holiday in Nevada, so county offices (except
emergency services), educational institutions, some banks, and
many businesses are closed. The Nevada State Bank is open,
although some branches may close early. People are advised to
check public transit schedules first before they decide to travel via
public transportation during a public holiday.
Background
In 1859, Nevada was not
well known among settlers.
Following Henry Comstock’s
discovery of gold in 1859,
with the Comstock Lode
producing over a billion
dollars from silver and gold
mining, settlers flocked to
Nevada. Within two years, it
became a territory. Nevada
then became a state on
October 31, 1864.
The first mention of a grand celebration of Nevada’s admission
was in a journalist’s diary in 1873. After that, the Pioneer Society
held a banquet on October 31, 1889. The state of Nevada officially
recognized its birthday when Governor Roswell Colcord signed a bill
in 1891 making October 31 a judicial holiday, and no court business
could be transacted on that day. In 1933, the state legislature passed
a bill to designate October 31 as Nevada Day, a discretionary state
holiday.
In 1948, October 31 fell on a Sunday for the first time since the
Nevada Day Parade was held (in 1938); so the celebration was held
on the following Monday. The law was amended in the following
4 - October 2013
The state seal is the first symbol Nevada adopted (February 24, 1886).
It is a gold seal embossed with the words “The Great Seal of the State
of Nevada” around the outer edge. Within this is a composite picture
showing the mining, agriculture, industry and scenery of Nevada and
a scroll underneath with the state motto, “All for Our Country.”

ARC APPROVAL
Please remember you are required to obtain ARC approval for any
exterior change you make. Just because you see changes at another
resident’s home, it does not necessarily mean they are permitted.
Remember each resident has to seek ARC approval before making an
exterior change to their property.
COMPLAINTS
If you believe another resident is not in compliance, please come
by the Community Standards office and fill out a complaint form.
My department will investigate the non-compliance issue. Often
residents don’t want to get involved or take the time to fill out
the form. Some people prefer to send anonymous concerns. This
method will not help to rectify the situation, because we will not be
able to easily follow up. The form provides necessary information,
such as your name and phone number; and after 30 days, I am able
to follow up with you to see if the issue has been resolved. It also
provides the correct address of the property in non-compliance.
BIRD FEEDERS – Bird feeders and feeding any birds is prohibited.
Please contact me at 638-5017 if you have any questions or concerns.
Have a great October.
Sincerely,
Dawn Mackey, Director of Standards and Compliance

NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH
Let’s Talk Trash
Did you know that your trash is public
property, once it’s placed on the curb for
pickup? You never know when someone might
go through your trash or just steal it altogether.
They can be looking for aluminum cans, plastic
or scarier yet, your identity. Identity theft is
one of the fastest rising types of crime today. For instance, according
to the Las Vegas Metro Police Department Fraud Division, if your
social security number or those 20-year-old bank records that you
finally got around to tossing out were to fall into the hands of the
wrong person, they can refinance your home or they can reactivate a
closed credit card account without your knowledge within a matter
of hours. Frightening isn’t it!

You can reduce the risk of identity theft by simply shredding your
files with a cross-cut shredder before throwing them away. The

B R E E Z E
Welcome back to a brand new
season at Aliante Golf Club! The
Rye grass is growing strong, and
I can’t wait to get back in the
“swing” of things. Speaking of
the swing, I hope all of you had a chance to keep in golf shape, while
we were closed. I hope the stretches I gave you in the last article
were easy to follow. Now, we’ll talk about easing back into the game
when you’ve taken some time off.
We all know how difficult it can be to return to the game of golf,
even after a short break; the short game, the long game, even just
feeling comfortable standing over the ball can be maddening upon
your return. The first thing to do is to go out and putt. Get the club
in your hands, feel your stance and watch the putter make a smooth
connection with the golf ball. Find your pace. Memorize the feel of
hitting a five-foot putt; you should be able to mimic the motion of a
five-foot putt with your eyes closed. It’s all about feel!
Once you get back into the groove on the putting green, you can
make your way to the short
game. Repeat the same
process with your chip shot.
Memorize the feeling of your
15-foot chip shot. Onto the
pitch shot, memorize your
20-yard pitch. Are we getting
the idea? We are getting our
feel back!! It does not take
long, but you have to be
committed to the process.
Once you feel that you are
making solid contact with
your 20-yard pitch, it’s time to move on to the irons.
Now, do not take your full swing right away. Take a smooth half
swing and concentrate on making solid contact. The best way to
achieve this is to utilize your short irons. Half and three quarter
swings are just that. It’s not time for the full swing yet! If your half
swing is consistent through impact, move to the three quarter swing;
and once that three quarter is solid, then you may move on to the
full swing.
8 - October 2013
If you follow this regiment, your swing will find you; and you won’t
have to go searching for your swing. Your game will come back to
you much quicker than you think. You just have to commit to the
process.
I am here to facilitate the ability for all of you who wish to make a
quick transition back into golf shape! Welcome back golfers to a
great new season at Aliante Golf Club!
I look forward to seeing you on the practice tee here at Aliante
Golf Club, and helping you improve your skills and your
enjoyment of the game. This is our club, our community and
I’m glad to be a part of it!
-Paul Cox, PGA and Head Golf Professional of Aliante Golf Club.

We’re having a blast at the golf clinic (open to all abilities), Tuesdays

The Medicare program is complicated and confusing, and it doesn’t

Original Medicare covers basic hospital and medical expenses.
Medicare Advantage (HMO/PPO) plans extend this basic coverage,
and Medicare Supplements take healthcare coverage to its highest
level of choice in regard to physicians, specialists, hospitals and
medical facilities.
If you’ve been seriously injured, are suffering from a critical illness
or are in need of major surgery, wouldn’t you want the best care
possible? There are affordable Medicare Supplement Plans that offer
features not found in HMO/PPO plans.

Robin Skone-Palmer was executive secretary to Phyllis Diller for
nearly two years in the early 1970s. During the time Robin worked
for her, Phyllis often said, “You should write a book about all this.”
She did and sent it to Phyllis, who loved it and endorsed it with a
little sticky note that now appears on the cover. The book, “Beyond

2013, a date her editor thought was particularly appropriate.

Get Ready, Get Set, Let the Fun Begin! Create a case of your very
own wine, bottled by you, complete with
a personalized label. We have arranged
this opportunity for 20 people to learn
the fine art and science of wine making
and to enjoy the fruits of their labor.
You, along with 19 others, will make
a handcrafted, premium Bordeaux
wine (mixture of grapes) at the Grape
Expectations School of Winemaking
located in Henderson. We will schedule
four sessions at Grape Expectations
Winery, where you will create your masterpiece. The process will
begin on October 10 and culminate with corking the wine in May.
During our visits, we plan to PARTY… pack a lunch and bring along
your favorite wine or other beverage. The process begins with:
1. “Smashing Good Time”… It’s going to be a bad day to be a
grape. After a lesson in the operation of the equipment, we
will load our grapes into the crusher/de-stemmer. Now, I know
you’ll be disappointed, but we don’t have to stomp them with
our feet. The “must” (crushed grapes) will then be pumped
into a fermentation tub and the primary fermentation will be
initiated. Adjustments and measurements will be made, and
the session will continue with a discussion on the effects of
yeast and maceration during the process.
2.“Meet the Press”… One or two weeks after fermentation
begins, we will return and press the juice from the must. This
process utilizes a traditional hydraulic wine press, not the “I Love
Lucy” grape stomp. Our friends will thank us later. The free run
juice and press juice is pumped into a 53 gallon oak barrel to
start the aging process.
3.Our next session is “Nice Rack.” After a few months, we will
return to rack the wine. During the racking process, the wine
is pumped into a stainless steel tank. The “lees” (sediment) is
washed from
the barrel, and
the wine is
reintroduced
into a fresh barrel
where the final
aging process
continues. The
barrel is topped
off and put back
into storage.
4.
For our
final session,
“Con-Graduation
Day,” with
the aid of a gravity filler, we will load the wine into sterilized
bottles, cork the bottles with a manual press and, shrink-wrap a
decorative, protective capsule on the neck of our 240 bottles of
joy. The work will be over, but not the fantastic memories!
And the fun will go on… several times during the year, we will

The President’s Message continues from page 3
of CICs by the Legislature. Many new regulations required by NRS 116
have added additional costs to both large and small communities.
We have seen numerous “problems” within the various HOAs over the
last few years, and I am sure we have not seen the last of them. To
quote Mark Smith, “This is nothing more than GAS,” (Greed, Arrogance
and Stupidity).
Why am I writing about this? I am writing to let you know that owners
in CICs can have a major influence when it comes to the Nevada
legislators. Let your legislators know we don’t need more regulations.
Get involved at the city, state and federal levels. Let them know we
are holding them to a higher standard, and if they don’t meet it, we
will speak with our vote.

A struggling true-crime novelist stumbles
into a grim supernatural mystery that
threatens the lives of his entire family
in this nightmarish horror yarn from
director Scott Derrickson (The Exorcism
of Emily Rose, The Day the Earth Stood
Still). Ellison (Ethan Hawke) is seeking
inspiration for his latest book when he
moves his wife and children into a home
where an entire family perished under
gruesome circumstances. Terror soon
hits closer to home, however, when the writer discovers a box of old
family movies in the attic of his new house, and watches in horror
as images of various families being murdered flicker before his eyes.
Now the deeper Ellison investigates the disturbing case, the more he
begins to fear he has stirred an ancient evil that won’t rest until it has
claimed his entire family. Vincent D’Onofrio and James Ransone costar. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi. Theatrical Feature Running Time: 110
minutes. Category: Horror. Theatrical MPAA Rating: R (Violence).
6 Souls
Julianne Moore stars in this supernatural
horror film as second-generation forensic
psychiatrist Dr. Cara Jessup, whose career
as an expert witness has been largely
built on her firm testimony that so-called
“multiple personality disorder” is a hoax or
a myth -- and does not really exist. Over six
killers have been convicted and sentenced
to death based on her assertions, though
Cara has remained firm in her beliefs,
both about science and about God. All of those beliefs are shaken
to the core, however, when her own husband is murdered, and
her father introduces her to his own most challenging patient, a
troubled young man named Adam -- who would seem to suffer from
multiple personalities, each of which are the identities of murder
victims. Soon, Cara is in a race against time to discover whether
all her convictions have really been called into question or if she
is merely a pawn in a psychotic, deadly game. ~ Jason Buchanan,
Rovi. Theatrical Feature Running Time: 112 min. Category: Horror.

Our Theme is the Mad Tea from Alice in Wonderland
“There was a table set out under a tree in front of the house, and
the March Hare and the Hatter were having tea at it: a Dormouse
was sitting between them, fast asleep, and the other two were
using it as a cushion, resting their elbows on it, and talking over its
head. `Very uncomfortable for the Dormouse,’ thought Alice; ‘only,
as it’s asleep, I suppose it doesn’t mind.’”
“The table was a large one, but the three were all crowded together
at one corner of it: `No room! No room!’ they cried out when they
saw Alice coming. `There’s plenty of room!’ said Alice indignantly, and
she sat down in a large arm-chair at one end of the table.”
“Mad Hatter: ‘Would you like a little more tea?’
Alice: ‘Well, I haven’t had any yet, so I can’t very well take more.’
March Hare: ‘Ah, you mean you can’t very well take less.’
Mad Hatter: ‘Yes. You can always take more than nothing.’”

About Veterans Day: World War I – known at the time as “The Great
War” – officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed
on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles outside the town of
Versailles, France. However, fighting ceased seven months earlier
when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities between the
Allied nations and Germany, went into effect on the eleventh hour of
the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, November
11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars.”

Sun City Aliante
Songster Spotlight
Diane McGaughey
Diane McGaughey began her
singing career in the sixth
grade as the Admiral in “H.M.S.
Pinafore.” She says that there
were just not enough boys in
the class who could sing and
she had to step in.
-
T H E
B R E E Z E
Born in Canton, Ohio, Diane
lived most of her young life
there and in Cleveland. She
attended Bowling Green State University and received her teaching
degree majoring in English and Physical Education.
After working as a teacher for four years in Ohio, Diane decided it
was time to try something different. A gypsy at heart, she began
to travel and explore various jobs. Her first destination was Hawaii,
where she packed up and moved there without knowing where
she would work or live. Shortly upon arrival, she settled in at IBM
and worked her way up from mechanical engineer (fixing broken
machines) to management, and later, she went on to train IBM
employees nationwide.
After twenty years with IBM and several moves to Dallas, Austin, San
Jose, and Atlanta she “retired.” Since that time her jobs have included
24 - October 2013
working as a massage therapist, educational consultant (South
America, the Middle East and Canada), and as an actress in a Fox pilot
filmed in Hawaii.
Diane moved to Las Vegas seven years ago, where she became a card
dealer for three years. Diane always has a funny story to tell and says
she would love to try a stint at being a comedian.
In Diane’s free time, she plays golf, gambles, travels, spends time
with her family in Ohio, Tennessee and Texas and enjoys her two
cats, Sweetie Pie and Jimbo. Her cats came to her as stray babies and
have been with her since her Hawaii days.
Diane sang in church choirs throughout her life and was a natural
fit for the Sun City Aliante Songsters. She has been singing with the
Songsters for two years. “I love music and to the opportunity to
sing. I like the way Judy, our director, challenges us, and I like the
idea we are growing in the quality of our performances. We accept
anyone who wants to sing, and we all work to improve our art. I
really like the social and the musical aspects of singing with the
group,” said Diane.
Softball Club
The new Softball season began September 9. Play begins at 8:30
a.m. on Mondays at Aviary Park. New players are encouraged to
come down and become part of the team. Bring your bats and
gloves for a fun-filled time. For more information, contact Joe
Shuman at 750-0745.

Stepper Spotlight
Terry Frank
Terry’s diverse background is
impressive. She received her court
reporting certification from the
University of Cincinnati, Ohio. She later
specialized in the field of proficiency
testing developmentally disabled
children and worked in the Cincinnati public school system. Her
abilities to educate slow learning students by utilizing phonetics,
reasoning, motivating lesson plans and encouraging self-expression
through the medium of music, movement, art and dance served
students well.
The Aliante Steppers are proud to have her as part of their ensemble.
Terry’s physically convincing as a dancer, and she draws upon her
former dance training from the University of Cincinnati.
Pan Club
In most card games, there are certain rules, and PAN is no exception.
In PAN, players take turns drawing cards from eight decks of cards.
You may be a “quick draw” and a “flasher,” but never put the draw
card in your hand.
In addition to their normally scheduled Friday games (12:30–3:30
p.m.), the members of the Pan Club will add an evening of PAN
on Fridays from 6 -9 p.m. That’s a full day of PAN folks! If you are
interested in learning the game, contact Lil Rothstein at
(702) 649-8766.
If you are interested in learning how to play or what this exciting
game is all about, stop by the tennis courts during normal club play.
The club offers free morning lessons for beginners October 25
through November 10. Classes will be held at 9 a.m. on Monday
through Thursday at the courts. Trained players will help you learn to
play the fastest growing sport in the country.
Players should wear court shoes and exercise attire suited for the
outside weather. The club and community center have several
paddles for starting players to use. Always scan your card at the
community center before coming to the courts. Contact
Bob Ziegler at 801-414-4751 and [email protected] for beginner
lesson dates and times.
Chess Club
The SCAL Chess Club meets Monday evenings from 7 p.m. to 9:15
p.m. at the community center. Ed Bernheim has started this club
for residents who want to enjoy the “Royal Game.” Ed has played
chess since he was age 8, and he is a rated expert in the U.S. and
a rated master in England. He has held the Northeastern Illinois
championship and the Corpus Christi, Texas Championship for 10
years.
The club will offer open play and free chess lessons for beginning
and intermediate players. There are no dues. Chess is the only
activity that decreases the occurrence of Alzheimer’s by 35 to 50
percent (New England Journal of Medicine). Please bring a chess set
and come. Everyone is welcome. Call Ed Bernheim at 361-739-9684
for more information.

Terry accomplished all of her goals while raising four children (three
girls and one boy). As a single mother when the children were very
young, it is even more commendable what she has and continues to
achieve. Her mantra, “everything is possible,” is a testament to all.
After the Bend tournament, they moved on to a tournament in
Albany, Oregon and were joined by Sue Lavell and Charlie Wilson.
Nancy and Barbara again won the bronze, and Charlie Ziegler did
better against some very tough competition, but she was eliminated
by the gold winner. Sue and Charlie Wilson played exceptionally well
but eventually lost to a medal winning team.
T H E
Within minutes of meeting Terry, you are keenly aware of her natural
talents in the field of arts. She is an accomplished floral designer,
artist and gourmet cook. Her published cookbook, “Cooking for
Family & Friends” was completed in 1992 and is a compilation of
35 years of experience and over 500 recipes. She has also received
several awards on her “gourd art.” These award winning pieces are
displayed in her home.
Nancy Schwartz
and Barbara Durant
participated in a
tournament in Bend,
Oregon and were joined
by Charlie Ziegler in
August. Nancy and
Barbara garnered a
bronze against some very
tough competition, and
Charlie competed in her
first singles competition.
Pickleball singles is much
more demanding than
doubles, but Charlie managed to win some games before finally
being eliminated by the eventual gold winner.
-
Terry also is very well versed in the thoroughbred equestrian
industry. She passed the NASDA test (and a test entitled “Blue Sky
Laws,” giving her the ability to sell limited partnerships within the
thoroughbred industry). She has a thorough knowledge of breeding
techniques, studs, broodmares, racing statistics and knowledge
of contracts and laws concerning limited partnership packages.
Becoming a professional in this industry required extensive research,
study, seminars and travelling to Lexington & Louisville, Kentucky, as
well as to Ocala, Florida.
Six Sun City Aliante Pickleball players competed in two Oregon
tournaments and brought home five medals – one gold, one silver
and three bronze. Congratulations to Sun City Aliante players.
Terry’s career path took a turn in 1993 when she was appointed
president and director of education at the “Court Reporting Careers
Institute.” Along with managerial responsibilities, she taught the
theory and “speed building” classes, English 2 for court reporting,
led the four-voice dictation and taught a course entitled, Court
Reporting Techniques. She was responsible for course content, tests
and academic and speed proficiency student evaluations.
Pickleball Club
During the summer, several Pickleball club players migrated north
to cooler weather and, in between sightseeing and boating, found
some time to squeeze in a couple of Pickleball tournaments.
Hiking Club
VETERANS CLUB
Time for a change of scenery? Hiking is a great way to get your
fix. Join the club when they hike to the Valley of Fire on Tuesday,
October 22.
A Fond Farewell to
Bob Russ
The Valley of Fire’s name is derived from red sandstone formations,
molded from great shifting sand dunes during the age of dinosaurs,
150 million years ago. The views are breathtaking and well worth the
trip.
The club will meet at 8:30 a.m. in front of the community center and
carpool to the site. The trail has not yet been determined. Dress
in layers and wear comfortable shoes. Bring water and a nutritious
snack or sack lunch.
For more information, contact Maureen Grey at 702-633-6719

Sun City Aliante Steppers
Margo Young Presented with Original
“Showgirl” Portrait by Terry Ritter
Sun City Aliante Stepper Margo Young had an illustrious career as a
principle dancer on the Las Vegas Strip. Renowned artist Terry Ritter
recently presented an original “Showgirl” oil portrait to Margo. The
Steppers were there to join her on this joyous occasion.
Ritter’s oil painting “Showgirls” was created from a black and white
photograph of Margo performing the opening number from the
“Folies Bergere” show at the Tropicana Hotel Casino.
Internationally acclaimed artist Terry Ritter has emerged as a painter
and sculpture artist, who works with oil and acrylics as well as fine
watercolors. She made it her specialty to capture Las Vegas, the
entertainment capital of the world, through these mediums.
Ritter’s collection of vibrant and intimate subject matter gives her
audience a glimpse of the solitary world of dancers as well as a look
into the dazzling “behind the scenes” world of entertainment on
the Las Vegas Strip. Having been a dancer and singer in various Las
Vegas Strip productions herself, Ritter has a keen sense of the artist
and of dance technique.
Ritter was recently
commissioned to create the
50 foot “Showgirl Mural” at the
New McCarran International
Airport Terminal. Her pieces
can be seen in private
collections, hotel and business
establishments and galleries
worldwide.
Congratulations to Margo. We
share in your enthusiasm. Keep
dancing!

representatives of the USO
SCAL Veterans Club Chairman Sy Nielson(l)

members of the SCAL Veterans
Club were on hand to acknowledge Russ’ contributions. Everyone
agreed Russ had been a valuable asset and will be sorely missed.
Russ thanked all the well-wishers and stated,” Being part of this
organization is a real highlight of my life. I have fond memories of
knowing all of you, and especially, a few really good friends. Until
we are resettled, all I can say is ‘Happy Trails,’ and if the Lord is willing,
we’ll finally make it home. Our new address is 112 Rhyme Street,
West Salem, Wisconsin 54669. See ya later!”
Bob’s Notable Club Contributions
As Activities Director, Bob guaranteed that each meeting and activity
was well planned. Much of the success that the 207-member Sun
City Aliante Veterans Club has achieved in its three years of existence
can be attributed to Bob’s dedication and endless hard work. Bob
has 20 years of service in the U.S. Air Force, seven years as an enlisted
man and 13 years as an officer. He has received numerous awards
and medals for his military service.
On behalf of the Veterans Auxiliary,
Sy Nielson(l) presented Bob with a
handmade lap blanket to “keep him
warm during the long, cold winter
Wisconsin nights.”
