Hello everyone!  Hope everyone is doing well!

Not too much going on with us.........John is working for ATW now.  He was laid off in October and called back in February.  He has been doing some traveling to Indy.  Long days but he loves the work he does. He does electrical wiring for assembly lines.

I am still at UD.  Very busy right now!!   We are implementing a new computer system and it is a lot of work putting all the information in.  UD also has the biggest freshmen class coming this year....2063 was the last count.  Since we are going on the new system we have to register the freshmen by hand so more work.  It is job security I guess!  I do really love UD!

How about them Flyers!!!  Winning the NIT!!!  John, Jenny and I have season tickets....we are Flyer Faithful! Jenny and I took the bus trip to Cincy to watch them beat the Cincinnati Bearcats.  Had a great time! Wanted to go to New York when they won the NIT but could not find the time.  My two favorite teams playing...UD and North Carolina....and UD winning!!!!  Doesn't get any better!

Love spending time with Gabrielle.  She is so much fun and such a joy!  It is like watching Jenny grow up all over again.  John and I love to spoil her!!!!

Kristi is still at Children's Hospital just not in Urgent Care anymore. She is in the Emergency room now. Still loves it.  She moved in with a friend last year and just recently rescued a dog.  She got a Jack Russell and her name is Jersey.  Jersey is a special needs dog.  The vet thinks she had a stroke when she was born. Jersey can only turn to the right and she bounces (prances) instead of walking.  She is adorable!

Keith is still living at home but hoping to move out soon!  He is still working for M & R Technologies.

This summer we are going on a house boat with Jenny and Justin.  It should be alot of fun!!!!  Went a few years ago and had a blast!  Not doing too much because of  this economy.

Dad sold their house in Sept.   That was hard!!! I had to keep telling myself...it is only a house, it is only a house...you have the memories in your heart.  Still hard!  He moved in with his friend Delores Bierlein. Delores and her husband Bill sold the house on Pritz to mom and dad.  Small world!  They have fun together and I am he has someone to do things with.  His new address is...............

3849 Kemp Rd
Beavercreek, Ohio  45431
426-5740

I am sure he would love to hear from everyone......you know men....they don't call or write!!!

Hope everyone has a great and safe summer!!!!!!!  Love to all!

Hello to all! Boy did 2008 fly by!

As you all know by now GM Truck and Bus is no more. John was laid off in January 2008 and called
back in May 2008. He worked until the end of June and then took the buyout. Smart move! He then went back to the place he left to go to GM.....Advanced Assembly Automation. They hired him back and he has been working there since July. He loves it....hates the hours. He works 8 to 10 hours at day....7 days a week. But with this economy he is glad he has a job!

I am celebrating my 30th year at UD! I still love my job! The people I work with are great! John and I still go to the Flyers home games. We have season tickets. Love the Flyers! This year we are going to the NCAA 1 and 2 round in March at the arena. We went a couple of years ago and loved it. We saw North Carolina, Ohio State, Georgetown, George Mason, Michigan State all play at UD.

Kristi is finishing Nursing at Sinclair. I think she has about 4 quarters left. She took a some time off and started up again in January...that put her a little behind. She is celebrating her 5th year at Dayton Childrens Hospital. That is what she wants to do......a peds nurse. I am very proud of her...she has never given up her goal to become a nurse....just taking her a little longer.

Keith is working full time at M & R Technologies. He does the shipping and receiving or whatever
else needs to be done. He bought his first car in 2008.....a Pontiac G5. It is so nice! He hangs out with his friends alot and is really good on Guitar Hero!

As you all know Jenny and Justin had little Gabrielle in August. She is so cute! I love spending time with her. Jenny has a special name for Gabby to call me.....Auntie Granny! Too cute! She is a special little girl with lots of special angels watching down on her.

This summer Gary and Chris' daughter Ashley got married. Her husband's name is AJ and he just left for the Marines. The wedding was really nice and Ashley seems very happy. Gary's son Darryl graduated from Beavercreek High School and is now attending Sinclair. Their youngest daughter Danyell is a freshman in high school. She plays soccer.

Dad has meet a lady friend and they have been doing alot of stuff together. Her name is Delores Bierline and she is very nice. Her husband and her sold mom and dad the house on Pritz 48 years ago. She lost her husband last August. They have alot of fun together and I am glad that dad has someone to spend time with. Dad and I went to Uncle Fritz' funeral in St. Louis. It was nice to spend time with him!

Jimmy is busy with work and going down to his land is Southern Ohio. He lost his dog Oscar in 2008 and is thinking about getting a new one.

That covers about everyone............hope everyone has a great year! Let's try to have a reunion soon!

Love to All,
Patty

[As you will read, Betty has been having some serious health problems lately. Here are the email updates that Patty has sent out, in order.]

October 16

Hello to all.......................wanted to let everyone know that mom is back in the hospital. She went in last Wednesday, Oct. 10th because she had infection in the blood. Her right leg was also bright red with an odor. As of right now the infection in the blood is gone.....but she is going to lose her leg. Surgery is tomorrow....Wednesday, Oct. 17th as of right now (things could change). The heart doctor came in and told mom that her heart might not be strong enough to go through the surgery but if she did not have it the infection would kill her. The source of the infection is the leg and they need to get rid of the source. They cannot take her off the antibotics because the infection would get back in the blood.

As you can guess no one is handling this news very well. Mom is really scared and so is dad. Please keep them both in your prayers. Everything will be in god's hands and whatever will be will be.

Hello everyone!!! Mom is doing as well as can be excepted. She was so happy to see Dad and all of us after the surgery. She hugged dad and would not let go. She was sure she was not going to make it!!! Her right leg is gone and she is coming to terms with it. It will be hard and the road is a long one.....but the infection was spreading fast and it had to be done! She is in ICU for the next couple of days........usually the risk of a heart attack is high the day after surgery. Her blood flow looked good yesterday and hopefully will stay that way. They will watch closely for infection.

Thank all of you for your prayers.......God still wants her with us!!!

October 25

Hello to everyone! Mom is doing pretty good considering everything she has been through. She was losing alot of blood over the weekend....but they have gotten that under control. Her lungs are getting a little congested so they are giving her extra dialaysis treatments...so hopefully that will help. She is very very confusted....we are sure it is the medication. She has been moved out of ICU and into a regular room. We were told she will be there at least another week....then we are not sure where she will go.

Thank you so much everyone for your thoughts and prayers!!! My mom is strong.....must be that German Bergman blood!!!!

November 2

Hello everyone!

Mom is doing pretty good! She has her bad days and her good days. On Monday they had to drain her right lung. They got 1100cc of fluid out of her lung. On Tuesday she was really out of it. She was hard to get arouse and what she was saying did not make sense. The doctors have taken her off some of her medicines...they think she might have been over medicated. Wednesday she was very alert, eating, and breathing much better. Her leg is still bleeding just a little....but they don't seem to be too concerned.

We don't know anything about coming home or going to a rehab place. They talked about it last week but nothing this week. I will let everyone know as soon as we know something. Dad takes all the cards out to her.....she loves them and thanks everyone.
