On the Hill
The safe arrival of our first Grandchild, Joseph
James, to our son James and his wife Jeanette on February 8th has made 2005 a
banner year for us already. Judy and I spent two weeks with them in Chicago just
after Joseph came home from the hospital. I have two observations to share:
#1
With a new mother, a new father and a new grandmother in the house, the new
grandfather didn't get much chance to hold the new baby. It sure felt great
when I did though.
#2 The new parents may now more fully realize what their
parents went through in caring for them.
Fortunately, they are more than willing to
pick up the challenge that Joseph James presents to them. In fact, I think they
consider it a privilege and not a challenge at all. Live does indeed go on.
On page 7 of this HTN, I have presented
excerpts from Lynn Stote's letter "back home" when he heard of Ken
Bieber's death in 2002. His remarks recall for us all why Alplaus is such a
special place. I can only hope that my sons might write such a letter some time
in the future

Department News
by Bob Culver
The Annual Banquet and Ladies Night was held
February 5th at the Woodlin Club. Firemanic Firefighter of the year 2004 was
Chris Sparano, Social Firefighter for 2004 was Don Cartwright.
We have
learned that Gil West is in a nursing home in Bradenton, Florida. He had been
hospitalized earlier with a broken hip, and his overall condition necessitated
the move to the nursing home.
Jean has a
new mailing address; Jean West, 2755 River Trace Circle, Bradenton, FL, 34208.
Assistant
Chief Kurt Haushalter is recovering from a broken pelvis sustained in a fall on
the ice. He was hospitalized for a few days and is now recovering at home for a
while.
He has
commented that he is most appreciative of so many folks expressing concern and
helping out, it could be worse
like during hunting season!
Alplaus
Post Office News
A new flat rate priority box has been added to the
products the USPS is selling (two sizes). They cost $7.70 whatever it weighs,
whatever fits in, wherever it is going in the U. S. They work great for heavy
items.
Tax season
is here. There are many forms available at the Post Office if you need them.
I have
been asked by the main office to remind post office box holders to please use your
PO Box number as your correct mailing address. If you would like to use your street
address along with your PO Box number have the PO Box number just above the
city and zip line.
Stay warm
and think spring,
