A Welcome Home For Willy Jane & Troops In Afghanstan

[Henry]

Carl Laschomb and his helpers were hard at work planting a ribbon of marigolds early this afternoon.  The project is not done yet, but Carl said he would send me a photo when it is completed - His wife Willy Jane Patry hopefully will be home briefly sometime next week.

What a wonderful thing to do in anticipation of their arrival!  Welcome home, Willy Jane from the Websters, and thank you & your fellow soldiers for your service!

I would like to send a HUGE THANK YOU to Bob Kimble for all of his efforts (two days worth of volunteer work) in helping to plant the 400 marigolds that make up this ribbon.

I would also like to thank Patty Kimble, Josh Powers, Dean Potter and his daughter for their help in planting.  Without their help, Bob and I would probably still be planting.

Finally, a thank you to Jane Sanchez for donating enough marigolds for a third row on this ribbon in honor of Willyjane Patry and her husband Mike Sanchez who are both serving in Afghanistan.

Here is a good picture of the completed ribbon (or at least as it is so far).  Not sure what else I'll add yet.
