Now a little gossip I heard through the grapevine:

While driving in to Boise, Idaho, Felicia (Sis) Alexander was sideswiped by a big rig who then kept going.  She happened to be caravaning and some of her help took off and ran the guy down. Long story short it did several thousand dollars worth of damage to her motor home, taking off the driver's side mirror, but luckily she was able to keep control of her bus and nobody was injured. 

Paul Farnum and Jennifer Simpson were on vacation and while driving down a grade a pick up pulling a housetrailer behind them lost his brakes and I'm not really clear on exactly what happened but I know that their car was totalled. Nobody was hurt, thank God, but  Paul and Jennifer then rented a car and continued on with their vacation. Just goes to show you that the show must go on!!

I heard a rumor that Debby Helm is plannng a trip to Octoberfest and then on to IAPPA Europe in Amsterdam.

How fun is that? 

If anyone else has any gossip they want to share feel free to call me any time. I don't send out news because I am stuck in Yuma and get most of my news off of facebook!
