A Holiday Gift for Joane Lincke Kline |

 As many of you know, Joane Lincke Kline suffered a stroke and aneurism a few years ago. Her sister, Barb Novak, took care of her at her home until it became apparent Joane needed more care than Barb could give. Now divorced, Joane has been a patient at St. Anthony's Continuing Care facility for quite awhile.
Barb recently talked to Roger Durkee and updated him on Joane. Thankfully, her recovery has progressed well, and she is now able and anxious to communicate with friends. However, Barb reports that few visit her, which may be because they don't know where she is and how well she is doing! We encourage everyone to reach out to Joane whether with a card or letter - or even better, a visit! Her contact information is: St. Anthony's Continuing Care - Joane Kline #319
767 30th Street, Rock Island, IL. 61201 There are no specific visiting hours, but visitors are asked to leave by 8:00 PM. Because Joane goes to offsite therapy sessions, it is best to call before stopping by. One last thing, guys - because St. Anthony's patients are not provided telephone or Internet access and because Joane has lost or had several cell phones stolen, Barb had to cancel her cellular service. To make it easier to reach her, Roger is stepping up and having a landline telephone installed in Joane's room. Perhaps we, as classmates and friends, could donate funds towards keeping that phone line connected -- and even more importantly let's use it during this holiday season! Donations can be sent to: Roger Durkee
3509 56th Street Place
Moline, IL 61265 Please share this information with other classmates and friends of Joane, and as soon as we have a number we'll send it to you in an email.

After spending way too much time putting together a website that allowed us to reconnect and keep in touch with each other, the website committee happened onto Facebook. Now before you start gagging or get a case of the hysterical giggles, put aside those old-folks’ prejudices about everyone under 30 and what they do and take a look. It does everything that we had hoped to do with the RI ’62 site and much more – and it’s easier to use and more secure. You can be as public or private as you want to be, and after registering and joining RI '62 you don't have to do anything but drop by and look around.
To take a peak, follow this link: http://www.facebook.com/home.php. By signing up, your name will be added to the directory, but that’s all, and you don’t have to become friends with anyone – but who knows, maybe that old heartthrob or long-lost friend or relative will look you up and give you a “poke” – and they don’t even have to have been in our class. After signing up (and many of you are already members), click on Groups under Applications and then search for RI ’62. Join! The Wall replaces the Front Page (see the latest from the Gas Bard) and the Discussion Board replaces the Forum from this site. See ya there!

You have to understand, a good heart doesn’t make it happen all by itself; lots of hard work here! I need to see through legacy building. I need the young ones to believe. I need to know the fantasy of the soul becomes grounded in the reality of joy. I need you to tell my story and to share my vision.

Pictured are Frieda Collins (who?), Ann Morrison, Jane Bohannon, Donna Dempsey and Jody Perkins. The picture is dated May '61, but no one, including Donna!, seems to know what the event was and why they got dressed up to pose in Pam Bartels' living room. More than just the multiple pictures of Pam, we have the once reliable memory of several male classmates who were ushured past the living room to the basement rec room. No one would mistake the era, though. It oozes of 60's memorabilia! We'd love to see some of your saved photos, and please post a message on the forum if you can add any background to this picture.

Putting aside his narcissistic preoccupation with his colon, the Gas Bard turns his attention to how in stressful times avoiding the impulse to assume the fetal position can be useful. This reminiscence of a visit to the QC area was originally published in the Aircraft Pilots and Owners Association magazine. I was newer then, a low-time pilot with 188 hours total, 135 of those in a 1972 Arrow I had purchased at a very fair price from “Smilin’ Jack’s Pre-Owned Planes and Air Drayage.” The Arrow was represented as having a recent major overhaul. My FBO did a prepurchase inspection and gave the Arrow their okay, although they wanted to know why all this orange RTV (silicone sealer) was beaded around the middle of the crankcase and around the cylinder bases. Jack’s said they had put the RTV on the engine because he was looking for a mystery oil leak which turned out to be the prop seal - just didn’t bother to scrape it off he said. |
