Southfork Kentucky Derby Party Article submitted by, Lonnie Layne

The weather for the Southfork Derby was much better than the Kentucky Derby. The Southfork stable of horses and jockeys had no mud to run thru, (maybe next time).

Dinner of fried chicken, potato salad, cole slaw, baked beans, and cake with strawberries was preceded by the presentation of the winners of the derby hat contest.

Prettiest hat winner was Katie Bellnier, silliest hat winner was Craig Whitback. Thanks to everyone that decorated hats, you made our judges (Tom Geyer, Jim Holley, and Roger Layne) job very difficult.

After dinner, our betting "windows" manned by Carolyn McAdams and Lynda Adams opened, our jockeys had their horses at the starting gate and we were off. Handy Hollis (Adams) and Gater Jim (McAdams) kept our jockeys in line and on the move. Nancy Holley and Lonnie Layne were kept busy at the payout window.

Thank you to everyone that worked behind the scenes to make this party a success and thanks to everyone that attended (we couldn't do this without your support).

This film tells the inspirational true story of a New York heiress, Florence, who obsessively pursued her dream of becoming a great singer. The voice she heard in her head was divine, but to the rest of the world it was hilariously awful. At private recitals, her devoted husband and manager, St Clair Bayfield, managed to protect Florence from the truth. But when Florence decided to give her first public concert at New York's Carnegie Hall, St Clair realized he had perhaps bitten off more than he could chew.

NEIGHBORLY UNSUNG HERO’S

There have been many instances here in Southfork where there has been a sudden illness or death occurring or a neighbor who has no family and depends on a friendly gesture from their neighbors..

During times such as this, there are so many here in our community who do not hesitate and send out a helping hand, “ Our Unsung Heroes.”

On a weekly, daily, monthly basis many of these neighbors take care of those who are in desperate need with visits, taking food, calling them by phone and helping in so many other numerous ways.

I know of 4 people on our street alone who reach out and help a neighbor.

They were not asked but just take it upon themselves to help out.

We are very thankful for the many residents who take on being kind and considerate and these people never look for a “Thank you” and at this time I commend all who have and still are helping others.

Thank you all and that is what makes living here in Southfork so FANTASTIC!!!!!

Phyllis,

#1 – This sweet lady is JEAN RAPINAC – born Jean Matz, in Lyons, Illinois (a west Chicago Suburb) on October 7 th. Moving here on Prairie Drive in August 2015, Jean retired from Springfield Missouri School District, where she worked in the attendance office at the high school and also drove a school bus! “Jean of All Trades.” Jean has three children, three grandchildren and three great grandchildren. She loves dancing and sewing, and especially tending to her cute little doggie, Rosie. You’ll see her walking Rosie and spoiling her on a daily basis. That’s great! You know Jean with her warm, friendly smile!

#4 – That’s our MARCIA MAYER. “Marcia, Marcia, Marcia”! Marcia Matz was born March 28th in Lyons, Illinois. Yes, correct! Her sister is Jean Rapinac! Marcia resides on Palamino Drive and has been in Southfork since December 2015. Her career path was in the Office Medical field, retiring from Edwards Hospital in Naperville, IL. She is widowed and has two children and three grandchildren. Marcia enjoys reading, sketching and has done oil paintings in the past. Oh, she also has a real bossy parrot, but so adorable! Another pretty Matz gal! We’re happy these ladies chose Southfork as their home! 

Gary & Linda Rose 1967 Prom (WOW)

Linda th

#2 – Meet our MR. GARY ROSE (no, not Pete). This interesting guy was born on May 10 in Troy, New York. He and Linda moved here to Palamino in 2004. They’ve been married 49 years with three children, nine grandchildren and one great grandchild. Gary retired from CVS where he was a Chemical Technician. He’s also an Ordained Minister! His hobbies are: (1) Bible Studies; (2) Computers; (3) Blogging (newbiblereflections.blogspot.com….biblereflections.blogspot.com); (4) MS Access Programming (ex: compositebible.com); (5) Chess (standard & 3D); and (6) reading GREEK (sounds Greek to me)! A busy guy and an A+ personality…Gary always speaks to everyone and loves that “Pal” Poodle of theirs also! A real people-person!

#3 – Yes, that’s LINDA ROSE! Born Linda Langenbach on November 1st in Troy, New York! Linda’s career path included Home Health Care Aide, retiring from Mobil Personal Services. She was in the printing business to, AND with three children! Linda also enjoys reading, embroidering, crocheting, and cooking. (Think I’ve smelled some delicious aromas from their home.) Very interesting story on these two and their 49 years of marriage! They met in school at age 15. Both sides of their families did not approve of the other, so after Gary and Linda dated over 4 years – with about $2.00 in their pockets, driving an old Pontiac, and no place to live – they decided to ELOPE!! That, they did and have been together all these years! Love that story and it’s one that th proves you don’t have to pay a fortune for wedded bliss! Congratulations on your upcoming 50 wedding anniversary you two!
