Day 69 Friday September 27. (This is the 100th Anniversary of Ralph Imes' birth)
The funeral for Bob Truckenmiller went very well. There was a good crowd. Greg shared a glowing tribute from another Boy Scout leader; Bob led the local troop for 40 years! He had been mayor and fire chief and pretty much you-name-it in Ocheyedan. Jack had made a lovely video tribute which was shown during the service. After a luncheon in the town hall we headed for Waverly by way of Fonda and Pomeroy. We have many wonderful memories of both towns and are sorrowful to see how much their business districts have declined. In Pomeroy both the UCC and UMC churches have been torn down. We made it to Daughter Beth's house just before granddaughter Lynley Wolfe and her husband Jon arrived home from their new jobs in Des Moines. Ken was working at the high school football game and wasn't able to join us for a good meal at the Bremer Diner. Every one is looking good and flourishing.
