Wood Update
A very kind gentleman, Larry B. Spent the morning splitting our wood. Thank you so much! After Bingo, volunteers Lenita, Joyce, Sara, Marilyn, Doug, Jim and Carol moved all the wood to our wood shed. Thankful for volunteers!

Theft
On August 20th we had Rogue Valley Tree cut down a beetle-infested cedar tree that was near the street at the Eagle Point Senior Center. They graciously cut it into pieces so that we could have it split, and would be able to use those pieces in our wood burning stove. We were looking for some help with this task, BUT, someone decided they needed our wood more than us and have taken half of what we had.
Stealing from the Senior Center? Really? Shame on you!
Let’s Get Acquainted with Elizabeth and Jim Wartzok
Elizabeth was born in Everett, Washington in 1933. She had 2 brothers and 1 sister. Jim was born in Madison, Wisconsin in 1934. He had 2 brothers. Elizabeth took care of her brother that was 5 years younger.
Jim and Elizabeth went steady for 27 years before they married November 24, 2018. Jim had been divorced with 4 children that he adopted and had two more with his first wife. Elizabeth was a widow with twin girls and one son.
They came to Bingo as regulars and everyone cheered when they learned that the marriage had taken place.
When Jim was a senior in high school he played football and was voted MVP. He was offered three scholarships. The University of Wisconsin offered him a full ride, but he turned it down and enlisted in the Navy. He thought he wouldn’t be able to go to school and support himself. After 4 years in the service, he went to school for 6 years and then became an entrepreneur. He specialized in precision sheet metal, industrial paint design and engineering. He started a computer company, color monitors, voice module and introduced HD.
Elizabeth spent her career in clerical jobs – mostly Accounts Payable.
Jim has invented many items used in the Silicon Valley and his biggest obstacle was trying to figure out how to market them. He was known as “Dr. Jim” – the problem solver. He also holds 7 patents.
Jim says that Elizabeth is the best thing that has ever happened to him. (She blushed).
Both Elizabeth and Jim said to face life and smooth out the rough spots. They try to live by the “Golden Rule”.
