International Fibre fire

International Fibre suffered a tremendous loss of property on Sunday, Oct 19th. Not only did the company loose millions of dollars in property loss, employees lost jobs that probably will not be replaced. Firefighters were called in at 6:45 AM to battle the blaze that engulfed several buildings at one time. The fire was under control by 10:30 am, but firefighters remained on scene until well into the night.

Our Annual Fall Drive

Our annual fall drive to Letchworth State Park was probably one of the best drives we've had since we began this tradition 15 years ago. Though I would have preferred it to be a few degrees cooler. The high was around 80 degrees, which made climbing up and down the gorge a bit warm, but, it was fun regardless. Michelle and the baby in her tummy were real troopers, making it all the way down and up! Nathan brought his friend Bekah, and Leah brought her friend Tabitha. I hope they all enjoyed the day as much as I did. Days like this brings the best out in us. The only disappointment of the day was, as is our tradition, we travelled to Earl's drive-in for dinner. Upon arrival, we found that it was closed. (place sad face here!!!) Bekah suggested we go to the Brick Oven in Boston, NY. What a wonderful suggestion. We enjoyed the food and our fellowship was just outstanding. I was really glad to have Tabitha and Bekah with us. They helped make the day even more special!

Ernie Green

We're sad to report that Patty's husband Ernie passed away last week. His wake and funeral were on Saturday, October 11. He had been very ill for the past several years, and Patty was there taking care of him all these years. I had the opportunity to take a few photos of the family in attendance, however, I was unable to get Tommy or Johathan. Hopefully I'll get them before Tommy heads back to Iraq.

Congratulations Don and Lori! 25 years together!

Don and Lori celebrated their 25th anniversary last evening at the "Over the Falls Restaurant" on Goat Island at Niagara Falls, NY. The evening was a great surprise for Don and Lori, with friends and family arriving from all over the country. What a blessing to see you celebrating with your many friends! I attempted to get some good shots for you. Some venues are more difficult than others to shoot. I attempted to take some long exposures, painted with flash. Some turned out nicely, others didn't. Any way, I hope you like them as much as I enjoyed taking them. I was excited to have been invited to be there to help celebrate your day.

Congratulations.

Labor Day at Fantasy Island

Several of us from Lighthouse Baptist church went to Fantasy Island on Grand Island, NY. The weather was great! Looked like summer had returned just for us! Praise the Lord for the day! We all had a great time, and I got to take some pics. Experimentation tends to increase knowledge, and I was able to do quite a bit today. The biggest dissapointment I had today was that I just can't get the roller coaster the way I would like. But any way. Hope you like the pics.
