Missing Sodus It was nice to see some thawing this week. (You know you've had too much snow when you get excited to see dry roads and some grass. It really is still under all that white stuff.) Ralph Everdyke sent me a picture from Florida of himself, wife Betty (VanKouwenberg), her brothers, Howard and Donald (their wives, Betty and Jean), and Ron Fagner. (Micki Fagner took the picture.) It's different to see people standing outside without big coats on. (Was that sunshine?) Ralph says he doesn't know if there were any VanKouwenbergs around Sodus, but there used to be quite a few in Marion. (Ralph, let me know if you go to the the annual Newark High School Florida Reunion. It's at the Holiday Inn in Venice, on Florida's west coast, on Wednesday, February 19. Click here for that story. In speaking to Eileen Hooper, Florida is beginning to warm up but the temperatures were very cold for a while. Eileen and the kids must have been the envy of their neighbors, since they lived in New York in Sodus they had the warm coats needed to keep warm during our nasty winters. She had people ask her where she had gotten her nice warm coat. Eileen is smart she took some of her winter things with her just in case. Tomorrow (Sat., February 8), there will be a Valentine Buffet at Wallington Fire Hall, 4:30 p.m. until gone.... Tomorrow is Sodus Little League Registration, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Sodus Primary School.
