Dear Friend, 

I hope you had a wonderful summer. Personally, I had a wonderful August Work Period visiting communities across the district, rehabbing my foot and ankle following surgery in the spring, and even finding some time to celebrate my birthday with family and friends. Among the summer highlights was my son getting engaged in July (we are looking forward to his wedding next summer). Thanks again to everyone who sent such nice wishes for both my birthday and our family’s happy news.
