Dear Friends of Denny,

Grandpa, Grandma and baby Denise!

Dad's been enjoying his fall. During football season he enjoyed going to games and cheering on the SB Crusaders. Now he is looking forward to basketball.

He's also been spending two days a week going to a facility in Arcata with rehab services and other entertainment. He's been cleaning up at Bingo!  And he has also been practicing standing and doing a little walking with a walker. He feels encouraged that he is getting stronger everyday. During the week he also goes to lunch with his buddies and attends the Knights of Columbus meetings at the Samoa Cookhouse.

He's been doing a lot of reading, mostly history. He really enjoyed Stephen Ambrose's Undaunted Courage about Lewis and Clark. That led him to read a book about the animals they encountered on their trip. He also recently started reading about Captain Cook's adventures as well as some local history about Trinidad.

He is eagerly looking forward to the holidays and seeing his kids and grandkids. Speaking of whom, here are some of those pictures of his new grandbaby and namesake, Denise Jane from September.

We hope all is well with you and yours!

Grandpa Denny and his namesake, Denise
