Missouri Flooding
National Guard and crews from all over the state
are working around the clock to help people with sandbagging and
building levee's etc. to beat the clock for the great flood. Now talk of
even 200,000 cfs possible release, but for now only up to 150,000 cfs on
June 14. Up to 800 places going to flood and possible ruination with no
flood insurance on most, because they were told they weren't in the
flood plain.

Update on Judy
McKelvy Campbell
We are currently
at our daughter's house in Bozeman, MT. It is now Thursday evening.
About noon today we stopped at the Aspen Meadows Retirement Center in
Billings, MT to visit with Judy Campbell. As you know, Judy suffered a
major stroke and is paralyzed totally on the right side. She still is
coherent and understands a great deal although she has great difficulty
speaking and articulating and as a result becomes quickly frustrated and
emotional. Judy got a big smile on her face when I explained who I was
and a flicker of recognition and memory was apparent. We shared the
class picture with her. Karen and I had prepared a computer printed list
of the names on the class picture, at least those I could remember. Judy
seemed to get a big "kick" when she recognized a few of the classmates
in the picture. We had a nice visit and told her we would see her again
when we travel through Billings again. I am sure that Judy would be
pleased to hear from other members of the class via card or short and
simple letter. I trust that we can all keep her in our hearts and wish
her a good recovery. From my experience with brain injured patients, I
would think a partial recovery might be possible. Please pass this on to
other members of the class.
Good seeing you
all again. Best regards,
Richard W. Blair
