Six members of the Adrian Class of “78” flew to San Diego, California last month for their “first ever” out of state reunion. Those making the trip wee: Tammi (Thier) Soehl; Ann (Cox) Hoemberg; Jane (Eickhoff) Vigil, Deb (Bullerman) Lutmer; Pat (Wolf) Howett, and Lori (Reisdorfer) Potter. The girls got good rates for flying and had a great time sightseeing and even went Kayaking in the Pacific.
Thanks to John and Peg Faber and their “crew” for the great free meal of brats, calico beans, bars and drinks at St. Adrian after the 10:30 Mass last Sunday. Those who cared to, could watch the Vikings on a huge screen. This writer noticed all the young people who helped serve, clean tables, and ran errands. Little “Tooty Fruity” Jordan Kruger, daughter of Ryan and Lisa, was busy wiping tables. What a precious child. The Vikings were terrible and even to I screamed (in my own home), it did not help. Thanks to all the good workers in the kitchen. Many hands make light work!
Congratulations to Globe writer, Julie Buntjer for the great article in the October 21st supplement. The article was about Clare Fuerstenberg’s passion for stained glass pieces of art. Clare and her husband Lloyd, live near Wilmont. Clare was also a long time quilt maker and she learned how to put colors together. She has hundreds of pictures of her stained glass pieces. She even is willing to teach her grandchildren the art, if they show an interest. Clare and Lloyd have 11 children, 31 grandchildren and 47 great grandchildren. What a great lady who is so busy helping others. She also makes prayer shawls for those in need.
