Hi. Just wanted to let everyone know there will be an article out soon about my dad in a nearby town paper, Muscatine Journal, - the town where my dad had worked. It features about a memorial walk/run/race for my dad. The fund raiser is going to support the Hope Lodge of Iowa City project. I will have my mom help me post the article when the paper gets published. My sisters, mom, and I will be there and hope to see a lot of people come to support.

Summer has been ok. I can't wait till school starts, unbelievably. Sammy says she can't wait either. We've had fun, though, when there has been things to do. Jessie's favorite thing to do is to play with stuffed animals and art. Sammy likes to play games with Jessie, especially house. What I like to do is just hang around or go somewhere with my friends. We've been places and have done some exciting things with everyone.

Hope your summer has been a good one,

Aly
