SEPTEMBER 28, 2010
BK LOUNGE

Let me begin with a report on our sick friends.

Rusty Nunn now has a touch of Pneumonia so he did not get to transfer to the Rehab Hospital today as planned. The Doctors started him on antibiotics to treat the Pneumonia. He was able to exercise and sit up for a while but they want to keep him at Olathe Med Center til he gets over that. Nancy says the surgeon is still very happy with the way he came through the surgery.

Another one of our good friends, Roger Hawkins is very ill tonight. Jean is able to get him up to move around for some exercise but he is very weak.

Please everyone; keep Rusty and Roger in your thoughts and prayers. Nancy and Jean need some help from above, too. I know this is a difficult time for both of them. I will keep you posted on this site as often as I get new information.

Larry Dean decided to take a few days off to go fishing. Arnie Johnson very ably filled in for him at the BK Lounge last night. As usual, he put on a very lively show and is always well received here. It is at this point that I really miss Roger and Jean helping me with titles of the songs performed by all the members of the band. Without that help I will just have to tell you that Gordon, Marvin, John and Mary & Garry performed wonderfully behind Arnie. Dave Purcell was in fine form and received big applause after each number he sang. Annie Little sang three or four numbers to the great pleasure of the near capacity audience. Garry had a whole pocket full of new jokes and kept us laughing all through the show.

It is always a huge pleasure to have Arnie come by to perform for us. We look forward to having Larry Dean back with us next week and we also are looking eagerly forward to having Arnie join us again at the Grinter Jamboree on Thursday,October
21, 2010. That will also be our annual Halloween show with a costume contest and the ladies will serve a Chili Supper.
