Received a nice note and photo from Bill's daughter Joan.  She reports that Bill had a little setback on August 3rd and had to go to the emergency room at the hospital.  He's now at home recuperating.  She says it's kind of expected, since he's 94 years old.   She said he sure was looking forward to attending the party.  Maybe next year.

The photo is of Bill, taken July 28, 2006, with the "Redear Sunfish" he had just caught, 11 1/4" long, and 1.49 pounds.

If you'd like to send Bill a card, his address is: Bill Dittmar 1249 Ridge Road Chelsea, Michigan     48118-9792
