Connie and Hugh Meyer were in Billings in early September. While there they stayed with their daughter Joy Leikam and family and helped Joy while she was recovering from a hysterectomy.

Jamie Putnam spent almost three months in Westby helping her mother , Phoebe Vest recover after having back surgeries. When Jamie returned home to Rugby , ND , Phoebe went with her and spent ten days visiting Jamie , Brian, Courtney , and Bridger. Terri and Christopher Milton also spent time helping Phoebe during the entire month of July. Phoebe then traveled with Terri and Christopher to Greely, CO, where they got to see Shawn and Anita's brand new son, Matthew Shawn. While there, they also visited with Laurie Overgaard, Julie Overgaard, and Julie's son Tucker Thomas Schimmer. Returning home from a fishing trip with David Shields, Mike Overgaard stopped in Greely and Phoebe accompanied him home to Westby.

Teresa and Clifford Johnson recently hosted a potluck fish and steak fry for over 50 people in their yard. The weather was beautiful and the food was wonderful. Teresa and Cliff and Shannon and Mike Gebhardt provided the fish and Allen Ekness provided the steak. Cliff and Mike were the cooks.

I guess everyone knows that the class of 1967 is turning 60 this year. Well, they really know how to celebrate. After Susan (Hove) Arthur was here in April and surprised Beatie and Arlene for their birthdays, the girls all decided to go on a cruise. And of course the rest of us were invited even if we were over 60 or even under 60. The cruise was dubbed the "Mama Mia Cruise". And it was held in September in honor of Susan's 60th. The ship named the Mercury of the Celebrity Cruise line had 32 women getting aboard in Seattle. It was headed for the Pacific North West for 4 days, stopping at Victoria, BC and Naniamo, BC. Half the group were from Westby or had Westby connections and the rest were friends of Susan's from all over the US. A wonderful time was had by all.
