Sadly, left Rose and Joe in the morning. She was very generous to us and loved to see her improvement – really a miracle. She says she feels alive again! Drove through Kalamazoo to Ann Arbor, Michigan. Howard called Ron Sargent. He happy to see us and directed us to a high school parking lot where were unhitched the trailer and took off to see the University of Michigan. Went to snack shop on campus and walked all around. Kids look great on campus. Invited to dinner at the Sargent’s, then home and others ring around a small man-made lake. Ron’s wife, Karen (Swedish) very nice...pretty and seems sure of herself. BBQ outside. Met their neighbors, the Kesslers, and too time had by all.
