In meetings all day. Trying to catch up with my regular duties now (5:32 p.m.)

We had a gunfight up the street last Saturday. The Arizona Republic is reporting that Ramiro Rodriguez pointed a rifle "at a group of neighbors" behind the Roadhouse Bar on Cave Creek Road. This is about a half mile east of us on the same side of the street. A neighbor armed with a .357 Magnum brought him down. Rodriguez was taken to John C. Lincoln-North Mountain (within the shadow of the Deer Valley 30 where we were watching 300), and he was arrested and booked into jail after his release from the hospital.

Mother Pioneering Memories
"Thank you for e-mailing Bobbie's biography! I am Pastor Stan Simonik from Grace Lutheran in Kingman and I have the honor of officiating at Bobbie Bell Cady's Committal Service this Thursday. Bobbie was a valued charter member of Grace, very instrumental in getting the congregation started over 40 years ago. Together with Vern and Jeanette Torgerson she got things going with the help of Bishop Falde in 1963. The congregation was formerly organized in March of 1964 and the church building was dedicated in July of that year. Our church family deeply appreciates the vision, courage and determination of Bobbie and her friends. What a rich legacy of faith they leave for us!

"At the graveside service I would like to share highlights of Bobbie's biography, three Scripture readings: Romans 8: 35-39, John 3: 16, John 11: 25-26. Two prayers and the Lord's Prayer will also be included, and the Benediction.

"I am looking forward to meeting you."

Sincerely,
Pastor Stan Simonik
