A special Thank You to Click on each photo to make them larger.
At Dan & Mona Hoisington's
after the Memorial Services
Stasha White Case(Frosty White's daughter)
It was Stasha's birthday and the puppy (black lab) was a birthday gift.
The story is that they already have 2 dogs - an 18 yr old and a 4 yr old.
The story is that they already have 2 dogs - an 18 yr old and a 4 yr old.
They live in Olathe and couldn't decide whether
they should get another dog or not.
Stasha and her husband drove around Paradise
for 1/2 hour discussing the pros and cons.
When they came back, after their drive, they announced
that they were going to keep the dog and
her name would be "Paradise".
They got the dog from Brett and Bonnie Thompson.
By the way . . . at this time, the Thompson's have/had 7 more dogs.
I don't know if they are selling them or giving them away.

CORA IDA TERRY
Cora Ida Terry, 86, of rural Russell, Kansas, died on the 4th of June 2010 at the home of her daughter Luella in Burlington, Kansas. She had been fighting leukemia there for 14 months.
Ida was born on December 11, 1923 at the family home of JC (Charlie) and Cora Sellens Trapp in rural Waldo.
Ida graduated from Waldo High School in 1941 with her sweetheart, Earle Terry. They were married on November 13, 1944 in Manhattan, Kansas, while she was attending Kansas State University and Earle was preparing to deploy to Europe in World War II. After the war, they settled on the family farm north of Russell where they raised four children: Charles, David, Luella, and Corinne.
Ida and Earle shared nearly 64 years of wonderful marriage before he preceded her in death in 2008.
In addition to being a loving wife and mother, Ida had a passion for serving others. Her life-long love for teaching children started when she rode a horse to teach in a one-room country schoolhouse. She drew great satisfaction from following the lives and careers of her former students. Ida was active in the Waldo United Methodist Church—as a youth sponsor, Sunday school teacher, and women’s ministry leader—along with several community groups.
Many family members and friends have been blessed with the fruits of her baking, gardening, sewing, and handiwork. Her warm hospitality, Christian values, and servant heart leave behind a legacy that will live on for generations.
Surviving family members include her four children:
Charles Terry and wife Pam of Bakersfield, California;
David Terry and wife Lena of Ashburn, Virginia;
daughter Luella Masters and husband Brian of Burlington, Ks; and daughter Corinne Masters and husband Delwin of Natoma, KS;
sisters-in-law Frances Matheson and Mildred Terry of Russell, KS, and Evelyn Trapp of Salina, KS.
Ida and Earle have 12 grandchildren:
Leslie (Terry) Falcon and husband Sam; Josh and Todd Evans, and Rome Calderwood; Charles Terry, Jonathan Terry and wife Laura, and Joshua Terry and wife Lyndsay; Keira, Annelise, and Kendra Masters; and Tyler, Cole, and Dean Masters. Ida and Earle also have 3 great grandchildren: Naomi, Avalon, and Isabella Falcon.
She was preceded in death by her husband; parents; brothers Lyle, Earl, and Elmer Trapp; sister Mary (Trapp) Wheeler, and infant grandson Earle Lee Terry.
Celebration of Ida’s life will be held at 10:30 A.M. on Friday June 11, 2010 at the Waldo United Methodist Church in Waldo, Kansas with Pastor Sharon Thomas officiating.
Burial will follow at the Grand Center Cemetery north of Waldo.
Visitation will be from 9 A.M. to 8 P.M. on Thursday, June 10, 2010 at the Pohlman-Varner-Peeler Mortuary in Russell with family present to greet visitors from 6 PM to 7 PM Thursday evening.
Memorials may be given to the Waldo United Methodist Church and sent in care of the mortuary.

"THAT ONE THING IS YOU"
♦
Arthur Lee graduated from Fairport Grade School and attended Paradise High School from 1956 and 1957.
Art has a niece, Natalie (Ruda) Seybold, who was raised in the northwest part of Kansas in Atwood.
Natalie's son, Trevor Seybold, 17, will be a Senior next year at O'Connor High school in Helotes, Texas. Helotes is in the very northwest part of San Antonio. Trevor has been playing the guitar by ear since 4th grade and he started a band in 8th grade. He has been composing and writing lyrics for the past year.
Besides the guitar as Trevor's first passion, he is also a leader and starting Varsity linebacker for the O'Connor Panthers.
Trevor and his family are in the process of getting his song on I tunes and some other music sites and then they will be promoting them to their local radio stations and blogs as "O'Connor Varsity Linebacker Records His Own Song in Nashville".

Trevor and Natalie had the amazing opportunity to record his composition, "That One Thing Is You", in Nashville over Memorial Day weekend. They recorded it at Sorted Noise Studios in Franklin, TN.
Background vocals, bass guitar and electric guitar were done by co-producer, Thad Beaty who is one of the guitarists in the band for Sugarland, and drums were done by co-producer, Jason Collum who has performed with Back Street Boys, Little Big Town, Michelle Branch and now, Julie Roberts.

Josh Ryan, of Secrets In Stereo, is the one that
Natalie collaborated with to make arrangements for Trevor to record his song at the Sorted Noise
Studio.
Josh's brother, Jason Collum, was the drummer
on Trevor's song and Thad Beaty (in the top
photo, in the middle) played the guitar and background vocal for "THAT ONE THING IS YOU" - Trevor's song.
Thad plays with the Sugarland band and is vocalist also.
Congratulations Trevor Seybold!

We are looking forward to hearing about your compostition
being "high" on the charts.

FROM JON ANDERSON
•
I received an email from Jon Anderson yesterday. It was so good to hear from him.
We had lost contact with Jon and Dorothy for several months - probably over a year.
Welcome back to the blog, Jon and Thank You for your email.
•
"Onnalee:
I had not visited the blog for some time but the address on this year's Reunion announcement jogged me to look through it again.
What a marvelous site you have created and maintained.
Thank you very much. I enjoyed every part of it, even including Millard's remembrance of my well-founded and consistently maintained dislike for Navy-style beans. The photographs at the beginning are also real treasures.
Dorothy and I plan to attend this year's reunion and we look forward to seeing you. It will surely be a sad time in a way as we have lost some fine people since the last reunion, but it also brings back many good memories. Also, how many things I didn't know while living in Paradise. I didn't know there actually was a Billy Groover's (sp) house, apparently out by the dip, and I'm naturally surprised I didn't know. On the other hand, it would be nice to have one of those tobogganing evenings again.
By the way, did Millard make the round trip on his bike?"
•
Because of Jon's email, I went all the way back on the blog. There is a lot of "stuff" on it. That takes forever . . . . particularly to find out about Jon and the ham'n beans posting. Jon must have been reading forever.
I also noticed that some of the posts should be larger print. :)
And . . . Yes Jon, Millard made the round trip on his bike. ☺
†
We agree with Jon, it is sad that we have lost so many that have been so close to us - just in this past year. We certainly will miss each of them.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY
†
She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street.
She's the smell of bleach in your freshly laundered socks.
She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street.
She's the smell of bleach in your freshly laundered socks.
She's the cool hand on your brow when you're not well.
Your mother lives inside your laughter.
She's crystallized in every tear drop ...
She's the place you came from, your first home ...
She's the map you follow with every step that you take.
She's your first love and your first heart break ...
and nothing on earth can separate you.
Not time, Not space ...
Not time, Not space ...
Not even death will ever separate you from your mother ...
You carry her inside of you.

Loa Copp, daughter of Helen Burger, just can't help but show off her son to people that have probably never seen him.
What a great photo - Christopher is on the right.
This was at a wedding in San Diego a short time ago.
