The Katy group arrived on their bus. When we go to meetings I depend on my good friend, Brenda Storey, to be my Uber driver.

American Legion Elvis Tribute fundraiser was fun. Janis, Dennis and I sat together and laughed the entire time. I don’t think Dennis knows how to handle us two women. Elvis was moving and shaking but we just sat and observed. Commander DeGeorge and wife, Carol, danced. I asked Kenny Graves if he could move like that. He said, “Yes, if a bee is chasing me or I run into a spider web.” Frank from the Post Office and his wife were moving to the music.
