Thunder Ridge Assembly
Before I start with the main topic, is it okay if I go off on a small rant? Oh thank you! I knew you would be okay with that. I need to vent about having to attend business meetings in California. Last year, the hotel where the annual convention was being held didn’t have […]
Eastern Idaho State Fair 2019
First let’s start with naming the winner of the pop quiz last week. Congratulations to Patty Elzinga for correctly naming the content of the Make-A-Wish 2 story. She has won a stylish Shannon Wilker Foundation stocking cap. I hope everyone had a fun and safe Labor Day weekend and you made some very special […]
Make-A-Wish 3
Before I start this week’s story there will be a pop quiz. Who can remember what the Make-A-Wish 2 story posted on May 18 was about? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? If you’re too young to understand the Bueller reference, ask your parents or grandparents. That movie was a classic! The first person to post […]

I would like to start by thanking Kevin Greene and the entire Chukars staff for letting me have a booth for my Foundation at the games. They have always been so helpful and supportive.

Star Valley Limo Event

College Bound

The Blessing of Friendship
One of the best rewards I have received through the Foundation is the friendships and connections I have made. I have always believed you meet the people in your life when you are meant to meet them. This week’s story is about three very important friendships I have made. The first friendship I would […]
Lost in the Mail
Let’s go back to the Crusade Against Cancer fundraiser in June. First, I want to thank everyone again that helped put this together and making it the success it was. I especially want to thank Michele Kennedy and Thunder Ridge High School for their support. This week’s story is about a situation that occurred after […]
2922
Yesterday, it was exactly 8 years, (2922 days) that Heaven received a very special Angel. This specific Angel was a wonderful daughter, sister, wife, mother, and grandmother. She was also my best friend. I have no doubt she is one of Heavenly Father’s best angels as well. There have been many adjustments and special moments […]
