(friend of Pam & John Payne)

Frederick Long (Michael Jones' uncle)

Dan Masters (Mark Master's father)

Father Floyd "Butch" Gamarra

Dick Dini (Bob Dini's brother)

Loraine Bartholomew (Debra Bartholomew's mother)

Our Nursery School Board hosted a lovely backyard soiree in gratitude for our teachers this past Wednesday evening at the home of Gina Cockriel. Board Chair Lisa Cloud and School Director Darlene Porter honored long-serving and now retiring teachers Sharon Medeiros and Sue Wickham.

Parish representative Debra Spaulding and the Rector both thought the evening went very well.

SENS (St. Edmund's Nursery School) is such an important aspect of our parish mission, and I hope you will lose no chance to tell our Director and Teachers of our admiration and respect.

Wishing you moments of prayer and reflection this Memorial Day, as we remember before God those who have died in military service to our nation.

Grace and peace,

GFW+

PRAYERS: Word comes that Carolyn Anne Price Dyer has been placed on hospice care and your prayers are asked. Carolyn is resting comfortably. Predeceased by Clark Dyer, Carolyn and Clark were members of St. Edmund's from 1965 - 2000 when they retired to the Santa Cruz area. Son Philip Dyer would welcome expressions of care

Jim Longthorne recently mentored Olivia Harrigian on her senior project. Olivia decided to launch a weather balloon for her project...a complicated endeavor.

Parishioner Jim Longthorne met with Olivia on several occasions, researched various aspects of the project, and, using his extensive background in radio, obtained a radio beacon to help track the balloon location. He then took an entire day, starting 6:00am and ending around 10:00 pm, to accompany Olivia in launching the balloon from the Bakersfield area and eventually trying to retrieve it when it landed (their pickup site was supposed to be around Boron in the high desert (the balloon ended up landing in the hills above Tehachapi!). Olivia's powerpoint and blog received rave reviews. Thanks Jim and congrats Olivia!
