Many remember Newman Ward, who used to live in west Huntsville and now lives in Malibu, Ca. He recently became an ordained minister (in his late 80's) and will be performing the wedding ceremony for his granddaughter in mid-July. Also, Happy Birthday to Fred Ward , Newman's son!
Claude and Layne Dorning are thrilled that their daughter Suzanne and her husband Jerry have moved to Huntsville from Louisville. Sons Foster , 9, and Hampton , 6, are already making friends here. Jerry and Suzanne will be managing Railroad Station Antiques downtown.
Normally we don't recomend books but we are going to make an exception this time. For anyone interested in Huntsville's history or the space program, Dr Space - The Life of Wernher von Braun , by Bob Ward is an absolute must read. Shaver's bookstore has it but you might want to call first - they are selling as out fast as he can get them in.
Rick Jobe's dad, Wayman Jobe, is in Mobile suffering complications from surgery. Rick and Marji , his wife, traveled there to be with him.
