News from the Davics and Kidstons

Betty Davic reports that her mother Gladys Kidston discovered that Uncle George was in the hospital, but Gladys didn't hear of it until George was at his daughter Carol's recuperating. He told Gladys that Carol and husband were keeping him on a short leash...not letting him drive, etc., but he was feeling good....

Betty also writes...

"Aunt Izzy was also hospitalized and very ill... but, she has rallied
and now moved to assisted living. Mom talked to her and she is very
happy, says the food is great and she doesn't even have to wash the
dishes :) Her new address is:

Isabelle Stiffler
Saint Mary's Home of Erie-East
607 E 26th St Apt 111
Erie PA 16504
814 454-2164

The Davic's and Kidston's are all doing fine. I went to Madison WI
for Spring Break to stay with the boys... Lisa and Bill appreciated
some help as he has been out of town a lot, as he was that week.
Michael is 6, Nick 9, and Carter 13. Highlights were bowling,
McDonald's for lunch, and Ice Age II... woo hoo! I live on the edge,
don't you think? Richard has been literally working all over the
world... was in Australia last month, and scheduled for Freeport New
Guinea this month, but there was a riot and the plant was burned
down! I kid you not! Neither of them like to travel and they are
both out of town more than home it seems.

Melissa was offered a research appointment at U or R and plans to go
back for PhD beginning Fall. And here I thought most people who
weren't excited about their job just looked for another one! Steven
finished year 4 and tells me he thinks he will graduate in 2007. He
leaves Saturday to spend 3 months at a U in Dresden Germany. 18
credits and he is supposed to earn TEFL certification (Teaching
English as a Foreign Language).

I'm not teaching this summer, so I'm planning some serious basement
and garage cleaning. Ask me in August if I get any of it done, ha
ha. Steven gets home Aug 10, I leave Aug 16. Bob will come for 3-4
weeks in October.

Take Care
Betty"
