Craig's daughter, Andrea, and her husband, Dan Korow, adopted a 4-day-old June 4. He is Joshua Justus Korow, now a healthy 6 months old. He rolls over and wants to crawl. We hope to see him in spring at Cedaredge, Colorado. Our joyfulness led to a lighted stork and doll in our front yard.
Elizabeth created an official Joshua U.S. stamp from a snapshot. Neither daughter, Dawn nor Andrea, could be here for the final open house at Oakdale Grade School. They had many wonderful teachers. We loved all the school carnivals.
The letter included a photo of Dawn and her husband, Mitch Harper, tending their garden July 4. That night, their neighborhood celebrated with bright, noisy fireworks. Canada Geese on a nearby pond waddled fearfully northward. We took home the delicate fabric perpetual calendar that Dawn had cross-stitched back when she was in her teens. She re-stitched all of it. We put on Velcro so the months and days wouldn't rip the fabric. Elizabeth re-matted and re-framed it. Craig put it up near our kitchen table.
Elizabeth, busy secretary of the Magic City Kiwanis, nominated Grace Duncan, the Noon Kiwanis treasurer and past president, as the Outstanding Citizen of the Year. Grace was honored at the annual Barberton Community Foundation dinner at Anthe’s restaurant.
Our flower beds bloomed with the advice and energy of Sara Manka. The third Mensa Grace Harrington Wilson $600 scholarhip for a female in journalism went to a Leawood, Kan., girl. Craig and Tony, helped by Kiwanians John McAnlis, Gene McNair, Mendy Palumbo and Verne Scott, aided the Barberton Historical Society saving tons of historic roof tiles from a bank being leveled.
We worried when the Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Craig Wilson was hit 30 times by opposing pitchers. And we smiled at Craig Wilson's column in U.S.A. Today about the other Craig Wilsons. What a whacky 2005! We hope 2006 will be just as much fun for all of you
