The ESN; Wedding Bells & Echoes

On Friday afternoon, a huge ferocious looking thunderstorm toenailed across Elm Springs, leaving .60 inches of rain at the “Big House” and 2 inches at the Lynn and Sandy Fields residence.

Several of the kind citizens attended the ordination of Father Tyler Dennis at the Cathedral in Rapid City Friday night.

And several of the kind cititzens (perhaps mostly women) attended Beth Wilson’s bridal shower at the Elm Springs Fire Hall Saturday morning.

The WTL Club met at the “Upland Trask” residence Wednesday afternoon, where they took great pains to faithfully recreate a photograph of the 1927 WTL Club sitting on the back porch of what was then the Ed Shoblom house, which was later bought by Mark and Winnie Trask.  Those in attendance besides RoseMary Trask and her girls, were Jean, Kellie, Shirrise, Emily and Kassandra Linn, Caroline Wilsey, Sandy Fields, and Sally Cronin.

in fact passed her state nursing test, and is now a full-fledged nurse.  Matt Trask spent Sunday night at the Timmons residence.  Matt went to Rapid City both Friday and Saturday, and Saturday afternoon he attended Father Tyler Dennis’ second Mass in Red Owl.  Matt Trask visited the Robert and Cindy Dennis residence Sunday.
