My husband, Craig, and I spent many pleasant times with Bill and Judy back when we lived near Aurora, NE. They encouraged us to do our best to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Bill had the best laugh!

I remember hunting jackrabbits with Bill and Mel with Bill driving and Mel hanging out the car window shooting with a rifle. I think the car got some wear on it that evening. Connie and I remember having us over for a meal when our sone Peter was installed as a teacher in the summer of 1994. We really appreciated your hospitality. Bremer cousin, John Micheel
