DON ANDERSON—
Downers Grove, IL 
Sorry to be late on my dues check. On the morning 
of March 23rd I was returning home from taking my 
eldest son to his workplace. It was a morning of 
freezing rain followed by blowing snow. Started up 
a small hill, differential transferred power to the 
other wheel (rear wheel drive) next thing I know I'm 
90 degrees to traffic sliding. (no control at all). Got 
broadsided by two cars, right front and right rear. 3 
car smashup. No serious injuries. (2 cars totaled 
and one smashed front end). 
I cracked a rib, my breast (chest bone), and a few 
cuts and bruises. Some birthday, (91 years old).
Could have been worse. Am recovering but still 
have a sore chest. Hope to do better next year. 
Thanks to all who make this magazine possible.

I goofed on our change of address in March. Just 
updated it today. To the aol E.
Jim and I are always busy. We had to come home 
early. We still have the garden to maintain, and we 
have a College Graduation to go to in Bozeman, 
MT. Then farther into Summer we have two MT 
weddings. Our daughter's son is marrying a sweet 
girl in Helena, MT. And five days before that our 
son's daughter is marrying a great young man in 
Whitefish, MT. So we will be very busy, and are 
excited for them. Hope the world has some chang-
es. 
We left Yuma with really nice weather to come 
back to Washington rain. Which we needed. It 
took two weeks to cut the grass four times. He is 
off the roof of the house and in the garden on the 
tractor. 
You have a good year. Thank you for all your years 
of hard work at RUPA.

Please accept my thanks for the wonderful job you 
all do with the magazine. I thoroughly enjoy it each 
month. I will try to keep the rest of this down to the 
bare bones. 
I am still riding the bicycle(s) and now have over 
118,000 miles in 25 countries. I have slowed down 
a bit doing about 4 to 6 thousand miles a year. I am 
running out of places to visit. That does not bother 
me since using passes is such a hassle now. Also, I 
am still doing free weight training two days a week.
The exercise seems to suit me and keeps my body 
going. For some unknown reason I seem to be able 
to shake off most ailments. 
“Sam”, who retired in 2011, just had a hip replace-
ment and she is walking without any aid after only 
one week of recovery. The physical therapist is 
amazed. (So am I) 
Family is all doing well and brother Bill, who re-
tired in 1992, is still going strong at 83. All of us are 
enjoying retirement and keeping busy which, I be-
lieve, is a good reason for us staying reasonably 
healthy.
