Becky’s Open House was Friday. She had a lot of friends show up. Mayor Senter was there for the Ribbon Cutting. The Pilot News was there and took the above picture which appeared in the weekend addition of the Pilot.
Becky was pleased that some of the Doctors that originally hired her came to wish her well. Her office wasn’t the same after they left.
Thanks to everyone that showed up to support her!
Ran across this ad in the Pilot News the other day. LaPaz Garden Court was completed by Easterday Construction Co., Inc. in 2010. It was the 6th Garden Court facility we built from the ground up.
Due to a late start, this project got caught by weather and was shut down for several months through the winter. Despite that we were still able to make the completion date without extensions.
We are proud of our association with Garden Court and are fortunate to continue to count them as a client.
I attended the memorial service for Bobbie Ruhnow on Saturday. I wrote about our friendship previously here.
The service was nicely done. There was a presentation by the VFW Ladies Auxiliary. It was obvious that there were close ties there, many of which I had heard about from Bobbie. It was an organization to which Bobbie was very proud to have belonged.
Rhonda Reinhold, Bobbie’s granddaughter, made a moving speech about her grandmother. Many of the themes she spoke of were so obviously part of Bobbie’s nature. I recognized them and experienced them even though I was not family.
Ralph Winters also spoke. As a non-family member, that has to be hard to do. Ralph did a nice job of summing up Bobbie’s career with the town. I thought he was a fine representative of those that had worked with her on multiple community boards, commissions and projects.
Leaving the service it was obvious that Bobbie will be missed by many in the community. I count myself among those that will miss Bobbie. Culver is a better place due to her tireless efforts, but unfortunately it is a lesser place due to losing her.
I’ve written about the new parking lot slated for downtown Culver here and here, I had a somewhat heated exchange the other day regarding the parking lot and whether it was an issue that affected Lake Maxinkuckee. So here is my mini rant list on why this is an environmental issue:
All of this is nothing but a philosophical argument at this point anyway. The die has been cast on this one and my only reason for arguing about it is to point out a missed opportunity. Still, it is frustrating to see those opportunities slip away…
