Happy Birthday Ron

We hope your birthday is particularly enjoyable day for you. When Ron was born we thought he would be the "caboose" but he was such a fun little guy that Mom and Dad followed up with two more. I remember when I was 12 and Ron was 2 that I carried him on my back as we were on a hike on a family camping trip to Lake Tahoe area. Not going to try that these days as Ron turns 52.

Here are some things we think of about Ron:

• Ron knows how to tell great stories
• He has a hearty laugh
• He is resourceful - especially when something needs to be fixed
• He loves sports
• He works hard with youth
  
• He loves to coach
• He has a tender heart
  
• He has the gift of gab
• He invests himself in his family
• He married a great wife
• He loves his children and shows it
• He loves the Lord and works hard in the church wherever he is called
• He is a good friend
• He is a pretty good cook
• He stays involved with his community
• And many more unmentioned

Ron we are glad that you were not hurt in your car accident. Next time be sure that you are in the car that you want to get rid of. Seriously, we are happy that your injuries were not worse - even though you are probably pretty sore today.

Well, family that is the tribute for this year of all the siblings - we have a great family and I am happy to a part of it.
