Mailing to Strong Relatives
Momma (June Brown) and I are putting the finishing touches on the mailing that is going out to the local Strong
families and their descendants to promote the upcoming Strong Reunion in Auburn, Indiana. We are getting excited as
the date draws nearer and nearer.
However, when Daddy announced yesterday that the date within a couple of months, I admit my palms started to sweat.
I tried to quell the panicky feelings that rose to the surface when I pondered the numerous fine details that are still dangling.
Oh, well, what's the worst that can happen? Maybe they won't let us be hostesses for another one! We're doing
our best to make it a wonderful occasion!

Chardstock Cottage Trips!
I have heard from 2 different members that plan to visit the Strong Cottage in Chardstock, England this summer.
What an exciting trip. I would love to get some pictures of those trips and will plan to put them up on the web-site.
The first trip is planned in July and the second in August. Let me know if any of you are planning the same excursion.
It might turn out to be a rather busy summer at the ancestral cottage in England.

Payment received - It works!
Well, we just received our first on-line payment. Everything worked slick. A Tote Bag was ordered and PayPal
only kept .88 cents. Considering that is about the price of a phone call or a couple of stamps I think it is well worth
it. Quite a great addition to the Family site, I think.

Happy May Day!
Our President, Marlene Langbehn has started their trek north from Texas. If you need correspond with her, please
use the Minnesota address.
We have tree blossoms everywhere. It's a little cool, but it is a typical Spring day in northeastern Indiana.
When the wind sends the blossoms swirling, however, it looks like a veritable blizzard.
I received an e-mail from Susan Strong. Her husband, Howard is suffering with cancer. A note to that family
would be appreciated. He was diagnosed with cancer a few months ago and has been taking treatments as his system will
allow. It is a rough road.
Haven't heard from Jim Gilbert in a month. I imagine they are all very tired with the demands of emotions and energy
taking their toll. When I called the hospital last week, Gay was still listed in Intensive Care after her transplant.
We are still keeping that family in our prayers and will up-date the Family Blog as soon as I hear anything.
