READINGS:
TRENT D. PENDLEY read an excerpt from chapter 9 from his 2015 novel, “Toys in
the Closet.” The four-page read is the conclusion of the brothers Nathan
and Brad Franklin’s duet at the Valparaiso University chapel. Their scorching
song, ‘Who Wants to Live Forever’, made famous by the rock group Queen,
was quite unconventional for a funeral.
SHARON BUCKMAN read a short piece entitled “The Best Things in Life are Free,”
which is a satire asking the question if the best things in life are
really free.
SHIRLEY HINMAN read her poem, “I Will Never Forget,” about the memories
of childhood, and the promise to never forget. She also read the poem, “Upside
Down,” about the upside-down world we live in, and how it is becoming the
new norm.
KAREN LAUPER read a chapter, The Long Road Home from her book, “Can You
Push Me to Heaven.” This is the continuing struggle of Jimmy’s first year
of life lived in the hospital NICU. After his first birthday celebration, the
family is notified that the baby will be moving to a research section of the
hospital. Doctors recommend they meet with a Navy Chaplain so that Jimmy’s
father can receive humanitarian shore duty.
BOB NEUMAN read
his short informative piece, “AYE, AYE, AYE…A.I.!” about artificial
intelligence, is here to stay.
JUDY NEUMAN
read a personal story about her wedding to Bob titled, “A Very Good Year.”
The
meeting adjourned at 6:45 pm.
Respectfully Submitted:
CINDY HORGASH
