I know many of the older members remember George(and his wife Ruth) as very active airstreamers. I have so many great memories of George and Ruth(passed several years ago)They were a lively couple who enjoyed traveling!! Like the rest of us.
I remember................
His Yellow Dodge Monaco tow car
Going to Canada on a caravan and ended up with another group upon arrival at Region 2
He thought he was still following The Taylors( right Gladys?)
His wit with many stories
His love for Port Royal Hometown
His annual Christmas letters and how proud he was of the Grandkids
When Ruth had the start of Alhiemers..they took a Round the World Trip so she would enjoy it Too!!
Her wit as an Elementary teacher
George had a very Active social life and lived it to the Fullest
Thanks for the Memories George!!! God Bless....

Dec 4, 2010...Time for the Annual Christmas Party/Dinner. We all gathered at the Park City Diner in Lancaster, Pa. for a delicious meal. We all ordered off the menu from the senior menu..A large selection and also large portions were given. I think half the group ask for a box for leftovers..way too much food for only $7.99/8.99 cost.

Audrey was the Host, she made little silk bags/bells filled with a sample of chocolates. Also we had a big basket of candy for all to enjoy. The waitress even dug in and took handfulls for their treat. We had the "Best" Waitreses. The food was Hot and Fast for our table. We had a private room in the back to ourselves. We arrived at 1pm and left at 4pm. Audrey also had Poinsettas and a small christmas tree for decoration on the table. We had a long table for all 14 to sit at.

There were the Korenys, Landvaters, Olshefskis, Jacobs, Leitners, Obers, and Carl Light & Christine(Lou &Steph's grandaughter) at the Dinner. Good time by all..the Flowers were won by JoAnn Olshefski and Stephanie Jacobs & the Tree was won by Carol Leitner.

"Thanks SO MUCH" to Audrey for a beautiful set-up and hosting the Dinner!!!

Don't forget the Jan. Dinner (see the newsletter!!!!)
