| Dr. Herb Bandemer passed away on October 7, 2008 at the age of 83. His three children, and wife of 59 years reminded us of Dr. B's mantra: "IF GOD BRINGS ME TO IT... HE'LL GET ME THROUGH IT." Dr. B hired Laura as a kennal kid at Storybook Farm Veterinary Hospital when she was 14. |
| Spring has finally sprung here in Canandaigua. Jeffery and Bethan continue to do well in school and with piano. Thomas is starting to speak up a bit more in public. The sandbox is open and Laura has enjoyed doing yardwork and gardening. Ron continues to be in motor bliss in his new garage. The birds are eating a feeder's worth of seeds everyday and Jake has found a new interest in chasing squirrels and crows. Laura did not win a seat on the Canandaigua Board of Education. Being more faithful than competative she has been content knowing that her participation in the elections has served God and had a positive influence. |
