We so enjoyed the wedding day and seeing you all again! We are still in 'wedding afterglow'. If you would like to relive the day, you can view the professional pictures online. http://www.seemyprints.com/ Just type in Kelly Wiles and you are set!
Kelly and Paul are still honeymooning in Mexico. Hope she's wearing that hat and sunscreen!
Ed spent this week working in Kearney and Hays, KS. He drove most of last night to get home to his own bed. I understand that western Nebraska had a winter storm. Ugh! I'm not ready for that!
Love,
Janice

Geneva Greetings
The Nebraska/Texas Tech game is just over. Drat!!! At least they played well enough to give us hope for the future.
Mom and Dad celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary with a family meal at Lazlos in Lincoln in September. Not everybody was able to come, but those who were there had a great time.
Before we ate, we got to meet Tucker. Dad, mom and Great Grandma are all justifiably proud.
While Ike was pounding the Texas coast, Allison and I headed to Kansas City with my secretary with plans to see Les Miserables at an outdoor theatre. We drove through blinding rain all the way, but arrived safely to the assurance that the play would go on "rain or shine". We ate a great buffet supper and since the rain had stopped by then, we bought our $1 ponchos which were akin to colored Saran Wrap, wiped off our seats and settled in to watch the show. Unfortunately, the downpour had wiped out the sound system, so no play. It's a great place, so I hope Stan and I can go back next summer and try again.
The next day we went to Maryville to see Beth and watch her Bearcats win their football game. The Northwest campus is lovely; this is the walkway lined with flags of the countries where foreign students are from.
This is my walking partner, Lisa, who survived breast cancer this year. We were at a wedding in this picture; we certainly don't look like this at 5 in morning! She still has surgery to face in November, but is doing great; we'll make it to our 10 year anniversary in January.
We have a two time All American in our family; Zac is on the wall at the Coliseum for being an intramural sports official. Good for you, Zac!!
Two years ago, Erma gave me a piece of a Boston fern that her landlord had split. I nursed it for a year, then split it again this spring into three parts and was astounded at how they thrive on
our deck. The geraniums seem to like it there, too.
Erma had a bit of a setback recently when she fell and broke her lower arm. She had surgery to put a plate on the bone, spent some time in the nursing home and is now back at her apartment in assisted living. She and Mark can clink arms and see whose plate makes the loudest noise! 
The annual Meyer Ladies Day Out was in Lincoln this year. Debbie joined us for a tour of the International Quilt Study Center where we saw some very intricate quilts from Korea. It was interesting, but I would have preferred seeing those made by pioneer women. Afterwards, we had ice cream at the dairy store on East Campus; it was another lovely outing.
Thanks to Sue for posting family picnic pictures! If I can figure out how to post a link, I'll add mine.
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone at the gala event in Lincoln Friday and can't wait to see what a lovely bride Kelly will be! Love, Nancy

She's Off and Running...Again (hi from suki)
Hi to all,
Well, Fall is officially here and with it brings the cool breezes and changing of the trees I love so much. I have halfway accepted the cooler temps by wearing sweaters to work, but can't bring myself to change out of my sandals quite yet.
Just a few quick notes to highlight the summer of the Stamp family. Last Sunday I picked up Niki from the Omaha Marathon held at the riverfront. She completed her second half marathon in 1:58 which was 12 minutes better than her first run in Lincoln. The day was beautiful, the route was scenic and the finish line was right on Lewis and Clark Landing by Rick's Boatyard. I told her I'd plan on doing this next year but she advised I do the Lincoln run first as it is flatter than the hillier Omaha run. So, Bull cousins, I hear that one is in May (gasp!) so count me in if you're planning on making this an annual event.
Also last weekend, Steve, John and a friend went fishing in South Dakota for a few days. But, due to torrential rainstorms one of those days, the fish were not biting too much and alas, there will not be a fish fry for friends this time. Guess they'll have to take Sue and I out to Charlie's on the Lake now.
Cassidy continues her student teaching in the Olathe schools. Her 150 ninth graders provide some challenges for this rookie. She finds every evening is spent making out lesson plans and grading tons of papers. That part of the job is the least glamorous for her (and probably most teachers). But she does have a brand new Mazda 3 to replace the car she's had since she was 15. And here's how she got that. When she was home a few weeks ago, Steve was taking the car to get appraised when he backed out and the tie rod broke down right in the middle of the driveway! (I don't know what exactly that is except I see the front wheel off the rest of the car). Cassi had just driven in from KC some 200 miles flying down the interstate and the front end snaps off in the next 4 feet. Needlesstosay, that shook us up pretty bad. So she got a new car.
I have also been enjoying going to the Millard West football games. They are still undefeated but mostly I go to watch Erika perform at halftime as a color guard with the band (she dances, too!) She is, of course, the cutest and the best one, and if you saw her you'd see that it isn't just her proud aunt saying that. She's 16 now so we have a new driver on the road, folks!
I'm excited for the upcoming wedding in Lincoln and hope to see everyone there. Maybe then I'll accept the fact that our little Kelly is really grown up now and not the smiley teenager that she so still resembles.
Love to all,
Suki
