Go fish!

Over 220 Maple Crest residents, staff members, and their families turned out to fish at the Maple Crest pond on June 5. They also enjoyed a hot dog supper on the grill. 

Luther Shetler blasted the starting note for the derby on a shell horn and the first catch of the day was moments later by Richard Lasko. 

Others followed suit, with Mathias Klausing catching the longest fish of the day at 20 ½ inches, Elaina Helser catching the shortest fish at 2 ¾ inch, and Madie Treglia catching the most fish (eight).

Maybe playing Candy Land, Yahtzee, Chutes and Ladders or even Battleship revives pleasant memories. DTR Industries associate Thomas (Tom) Crownhart of Ada continues to compile his board game memories. Tom grew up in a military family who moved frequently. Tom recalls always playing board games with his family and 10 siblings. “Monopoly, Life, Trouble, any board game,” says Tom.
