RECOGNITIONS featuring Bob Johnson!!
Saturday, November 5th was Susan Jansson's birthday. It was a quiet time at the cabin, but it was only 32 degrees in the morning - too cold to fish at first. However, she did manage to hook an adult steelhead, and she has the picture to prove it.
Rob McBeth's birthday hadn't actually taken place as of Friday, but Bob knew that we wouldn't have the chance to talk with him until December. So ... Rob had "no big plans" for the weekend (his birthday was Monday). These included watching football and going to work on the big day.
Bob pointed out that, if we were meeting this Friday, we would be celebrating Mark Bruce's birthday with him. But Mark has a full day of court that day. As he said, "I'll practice my profession all day long."
Bob then checked in with several Sunrisers, asking about their plans for Thanksgiving:
- Julie Vaissade-Elcock has nothing special planned. The family will come for dinner, and there will be football games to follow ...
- Jason White will be at his mother-in-law's house in Arcata. Since Saint Bernard's football team are likely candidates for the playoffs, he will spend some of the time working with the team and mapping our strategies ...
- As a new member, Dewey Kiefer is looking forward to getting to know his fellow Sunrisers better. As for the holidays, he plans to spend time with family and friends. He and his family will be traveling at Christmastime.
- Brody Johnson said that he and his Mom and Dad (Sunriser Dick) will be traveling to Sacramento over the holiday week to visit Brody's brother James and his Aunt Geri Anne.
- Jessica "Whoo-hoo" McKnight said that now that her sister has moved to the area, it would seem to make sense that a big family holiday would be in order. However ... she is traveling to Mexico for the holidays instead. Christmas, maybe?
- It's off to Red Bluff for Ceva and Doug Courtemanche for Thanksgiving. They'll be with Doug's family, and the feast will have Hawaiian touches. Ceva said that her Mom gets the couple for Christmas.
- Things are a bit up in the air for Rina Brodhag. If I heard correctly, I think that she plans to head for Springville, Oregon to be with family. If I got it wrong, I'll let you know ...
