Cub Scout Pine Wood Derby at AUMC Mar 08
Our Youth back from Spring Fling at Houghton College. Connie won

Dale's van after colliding with deer on way to Houghton. Fortunately,
no one was injured. One of the youths mother, Mrs. Nunn , came to
our rescue and transported the four youths to Houghton! Unfortunately,
for the deer, it was killed! It made it to the center of the other east
bound lane. Someone reported it and the troopers were there in minutes.
After doing an accident report , they released the van, and Peg and I were
able to drive it back to Avoca.
