HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION OF JO’S NIECE AND WEDDING OF JO’S NEPHEW

 We returned to Mesa from Utah, leaving the motor home in a RV park the high country near Clint’s Well, to attend the high school graduation of Katie McNurlin. Although her high school is in Mesa, the May 23 graduation ceremony was held in the basketball arena at the Arizona State University campus in Tempe. Katie will be attending ASU this fall. After returning to the motor home we headed east to attend the wedding of Nathan McNurlin and Mattea Scharf in the Quad Cities area on June 2.

The bride and groom preferred this form of limousine to the more conventional kind to take them to the reception. The uniformed chauffeur is Mike Williams, step-grandfather of Nathan.
