We had an interesting synod. Roth was defrocked 499-33 & he leaped upon the stage & took over the microphone. Finally after 2 recesses he was arrested & let go when he promised to stay away. They tried to introduce a motion to change things but it was out of order & they got nowhere. It did put a pall on the convention. Bishop Crumby did very well as presiding officer. What amazes me is the number of ballots needed to get a majority for office. For Dad to be elected twice to Thiel Board & once to executive board is something, esp. when we are considered to be in "the hinterland" & not as well known as those in Pittsburgh area.
We will be picking strawberries this week at Wentzel's. They pick first & offer them for sale so we got a qt. & they are good.
We saw some of the tornado damage & it is bad. Atlanta, near Greenburg, was really hit. Amish are there & Amish from all over came to help & they refuse govt help but will take underwear & shoes & material to make clothes.
Jacque W. Shoup had a son after 2 girls. Born during the storm. Janelle Welsh & family are moving back from Calif.
How was your trip back. The peanut butter fudge is still in the fridge.
Just a little not to say hello.
