06.30.04 || Uncle Stafford R.I.P.After getting back home from work at Joliet, I grabbed my stuff to take back to DeKalb
tonight. Then went out to eat with mom, and found out my great uncle died this morning. When we went to Minnesota two weeks ago dad, grandma and I went to see him. He wasn't doing too well, I didn't think he was going to last long, pretty sad really. He did tell me to "stay out of trouble" though, I told him I would. My Uncle Stafford was a Civil Engineer, we had many talks when I started out as an engineer, even though I'm mechanical, civil is similar. He was the only engineer on my dad's side of the family, so I rather looked up to him. He also served in a war, not sure which, but he was active with the veterans. I'll miss the old fellow, R.I.P.. At right is my grandma with her brother, my uncle Stafford, Thanksgiving 2002. (click for bigger picture)

On another note, Kristen just got foot surgery today, she had a bunion removed. She's doing alright, hopefully I'll be able to go visit her, before she gets her walking cast put on. Wish her good luck in getting better, if you would.
