Community
Sympathy
To Craig Mosher and family on the death of his father, Martin Luther Mosher, Jr., 100, in Portland Oregon, May 19. Services will be in West Branch in August.
Thank You
When I climbed to the top of the pole of the ropes course last Thursday with my co-workers/friends below supporting me I thought for sure that it was going to be my challenge and adrenaline high for quite some time. How wrong I was. My amazing co-workers/friends here at Luther had so much more in store for me that afternoon. By believing in me enough to nominate me for the excellence award they took me to the top of a much higher more meaningful place. It is on this peak I am able to stand securely, knowing that I am being supported and cared for by those that I am fortunate enough to work with. A peak that it will take me quite some time to come down from. It is such an amazing indescribable place. All I can say is thank you all and climb away.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
And finally...
Father's Day is June 16.
“I believe that what we become depends on what our fathers teach us at odd moments, when they aren't trying to teach us. We are formed by little scraps of wisdom.”
