Sometimes you will notice a small "s" before the descriptive word: example "s son", "s granddaughter". This signifies "step son, step granddaughter", etc.

Olivia is a fourth grader, busy with Girl Scouts, plays the cello in orchestra and sings in a special choir called the Echos in school. She was recently a model in an American Girl style show in Omaha. She loves her two dogs, Ripley and Ava. She's a wonderful big sister for her baby sister, Claire. She will have a slumber party for her tenth party with school friends.

Megan graduates June 13 and is leaning toward attending UCSD engineering program. She has been accepted to the Jacobs School of Engineering at UCSD. She also has offers from UCLA, Ohio State, Purdue, Cal Poly, UC Irvine, and UC Riverside. She is serving on the Associated Student Body organization as the Service Coordinator, and she will be taking AP exams next month. So, right now, Megan is primarily into what to do about college and her future. The pull of school by the ocean is very appealing.

Memorial Service, Bernadine Phillip

On Saturday, February 21, 2009, a memorial service was held for Bernadine Phillip at the Masonic Temple in Alliance, Nebraska. The service was conducted by the Order of the Eastern Star Service, Aloyah Chapter #185. The "In Loving Memory" printed sheet for Bernadine had African Violets on the front - so appropriate for Bernadine. As most all of you may know, Bernadine was a master at growing African Violets.


The picture above is the table at the Masonic Temple (flower arrangements, guest book, and a picture of Bernadine). A picture of some of the early arrivals at the Masonic Temple is on the left.






There were two posters of pictures of Bernadine's life (click on the pictures to see a larger version).








After the service, a fine lunch was served, caringly prepared by the Eastern Star members. This is a picture of a few of the people attending.



After the lunch, many of us went out to Judy & Larry Mann's home for the rest of the afternoon and evening. Here is a posed picture of the Phillip brothers (Leo, Bob, and Jean)
