They told her if she would agree to work there for 3 years, they would pay half of her tuition! Needless to say, that is what she did. Now, years later, she is back home working at Evansvilles' largest hospitals..... God bless your niece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its where she met Red Schoendienst who would visit his father there. She always told me Red was her favorite baseball player, not because she cared about baseball, but because of how kindly he treated everyone he met. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milehiiu Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 It's graduation day at the Air Force Academy. The Air Force Thunderbirds will be doing their traditional flyover. With a new twist this year. As a tribute to first responders, the Thunderbirds will be flying up and down the front range, after the ceremony. I have checked their fly schedule. And they will be flying over the mile casa. Can't wait. Not sure if I will be able to see them as they will be flying 400 mph. But just to hear them will be a thrill. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just give their crops to local food banks ?

But you have this story. https://www.google.com/amp/s/wset.com/amp/news/coronavirus/farm-in-idaho-gives-away-potatoes-for-free-so-they-wouldnt-go-to-waste I got 5lbs of free potatoes at work the other day because we cant load wal mart trucks that aren't empty. So throw it away or give it away. So the shippers parked the pallets in the cooler and we all got some free potatoes.

I mentioned in this thread, that I once worked at a food bank, supported by our church. I know if a farmer, just offered to have us come to pick up his produce, we would have happily driven to take him up on his offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had thought about why wouldn't they offer a pick your own type of deal but I would guess social distancing would not allow that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 Just wanted everyone to know that I have tested positive for the virus. Have not really been really sick or had that many symptoms. I had a low grade fever and some congestion but felt pretty good. Main reason I wanted to go to the doctor and get tested was my elderly parents lives with me. Just wanted people to know that you can have this without being sick. Even the doctor was not even going to test me since my symptoms was not that bad. 3 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be thinking of you and see you on the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
