| Hugh Stimson, our featured resident for March, wanted to follow in his father's footsteps and become a farmer. Instead, Hugh joined the US Army in 1941 and became a paratrooper. He fought in the Battle of the Bulge, at Munster and at Oberhausen. After Hugh's honorable discharge in 1945, he worked as a policeman, and then for General Motors. Hugh and his wife, Margaret, raised four children, and Hugh worked with the black community to help their youth get a good start in life. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Very early on January 29, the Pancake Breakfast committee braved a snowstorm to slide on down to the Clubhouse and heat up the griddle, etc. We're sure glad that they did. The turnout was good, as were the pancakes! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Herman, our resident Great Blue Heron, was seen finding fish in our two lakes all through the winter months. He (she?) is a year-round resident, for sure! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
