Casper Update From Alex & Rachel

A little snapshot of our lives:

1. My friend Breanna and I are new members ofr the Green and White Chapter of National Honor Society at KWHS.

2. In our spring concert at KWHS, I performed as a trio with Ashley and Barbara.  Yesterday our trio competed in Torrington and earned 35 out of 35 points for a level 1!  Alex rocked on the vibes with the percussion ensemble at the concert and in Torrington.  They also earned a level 1!

3. Caged Alex playing on drum set with the worship team at a larger church.

Uncle John

From Herb Haass Photo Archive

With sorrow, but knowing his pain and suffering have ended, I dedicate this post to Uncle John. I happened to be in Casper when they brought him home from the hospital for his final days in hospice at his home. Mom, Dad and I visited Uncle John as our cousins rushed to his bedside. Colleen, John, Johnny, Mike, Kathy, Nate, Susan and Aunt Charlotte were there before I had to return Portland. I only wish it were different circumstances under which to rekindle family ties...

Here are some photos of Dad, Uncle Tom, Uncle John, Grandma and Grandpa Haass that Uncle Tom had in an old album. It's amazing to see these old gems!

Connor's Fridge Rover

Connor and I went to OMSI - Oregon Museum of Science and Industry - the other weekend and managed to pick up a little wind up vehicle with a magnet designed to defy gravity and travelvertically on metal surfaces. 

Dubbed the "Fridge Rover", Connor mapped the surface of our fridge and is at this time assembling a panorama for submission to Science magazine. We believe this is a stuning breakthrough in rover science! 

Furthermore, after a liesurely breakfast of Vermont cheddar, sausage and egg sandwich and coffee (Connor beve latte), I was trying to show how his rover worked by drawing it and...voila! ...an engineering drawing emerged...enjoy!

Love,

Connor and Clark
