Hello friends,

Well, our stay in Ft. Worth is almost over. It has been enjoyable with the possible exception of the heat which reached 100 degrees today (the day I chose to mow the lawn!)

Yesterday the Becker clan celebrated Isabelle's 93rd birthday. She just amazes all of us, and we have tried to enjoy her as much as possible while we have been here.

Thursday we will head for Lindsborg, Kansas for three days of the Augustana Heritage Association at Bethany College. Augustana is the Swedish version of the Lutheran tradition that preceeded what we now know as the ELCA. This will be a nastolgic three days on two accounts. It will take us back into our early church experience and will also take us back to the Swedish heritage of Lindsborg and our alma mater Bethany. Sandra has been able to connect with some college friends - Bill and Wilma Mai, so we are trying to make an adjustment in our travel plans in order to see them in Sharon Springs (Western Kansas)

Thanks to all the family for your Fathers' Day greetings. It made it a very special day!

We'll talk with you all again soon.

David
