Just heard from CAL... ELEANOR's illness has turned into pneumonia! They were going to be going out of town for this holiday weekend, but obviously those plans have changed. Peace, Reatha
Dear Ownbey Family,
Got this update from ELEANOR (CHESSON) yest'y...
--------------------------------------------------------------
Reatha, I talked to ARLYENE ARMSTRONG's daughter today. She said that Arlyene is doing well with radiation but had an extra session today because of Thanksgiving this week. She was asleep when I called, but the daughter said she loves our class and finds it so much like the one at her home church.
NANCY GUTHERY also called to say that PAUL got a good report from his doctor.

If you don't have any special plans for tonight, I encourage you to come to Temple Israel for the annual citywide Interfaith Thanksgiving Service, 7pm. Shalom Park has a new parking garage which is nice, tho' handicapped parking is still available in the lot right beside the temple.
GENIE HAUERSPERGER and I are among the folks from various houses of faith who are singing in the choir :-)
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Dear Ownbey Family,
In class Sunday, I mentioned TWALA KRUGER's problem w/her "good" hip... which has quickly become her "bad" hip. Looks like she'll be needing surgery on it soon. The surgery on her other hip was so successful earlier this year that we can only hope that this 2d hip will fare as well.
And DON HAMMER told us that CAROL DOUGLAS had gone to the hospital due to severe ear pain on Saturday. Here's her response when I wrote, asking how she was doing:
--------------------------------------------------------------
My ear and sinuses are better. The antibiotic is working. I have a bone marrow biopsy procedure this morning (Wed.) No fun.
TWALA's hip problem has accelerated. She saw the surgeon who did her other hip, and he said it was almost an emergency situation and that she needs the surgery QUICK. Most hip problems develop over time, but hers has progressed quite quickly. The doctor sees a couple of cases a year like this. Twala is in a lot of pain. I'll try to keep you posted on her situation, but it is evolving rapidly.
Carol D.

And later I got an update about her bone marrow biopsy: she had to go to the hospital to undergo some treatments for her multiple myeloma. She expects to return home tomorrow (Fri.)
And remember DOTTIE -- I haven't called since last Friday when I talked briefly w/BILLY, but I'm hoping that LARRY got here ok on Saturday.
DOTTIE TOBIAS
I also ask that you remember me today... as I drive up to Lake Junaluska later this aft'n (after my preschool day is over... when I usually come home and nap!) for our Adults PLUS retreat. Hopefully some of you will also be there :-)
Take care, everyone!
Reatha

Hi Ownbey members/friends
Saw a fine movie Friday - Wesley - and yes it is our John Wesley. The movie makes me glad to be a Methodist.
Below is a link to info about where it is showing in Charlotte. It will be here one week (through next Thursday).
It has all the familiar parts - his home burning and his mom saying God saved him for something important, his doubts, going to Georgia to preach to the savages, scared to death on the ship over and amazed at the Moravians' peace in danger, "courtship" with a beautiful young woman, the lawsuit when he refuses her a sacrament, getting run out/sneaking out? of Georgia, his "heart strangely warmed," preaching on his father's tombstone, "grace is why we are saved, as for works . . .," Charles' song writing, conflicts with Church of England, etc.It also has some interesting insights into his "love affair" in Georgia and other bits of his life
By luck we went to the showing with the director and main actors present and we met them. The actors were so young and good looking, on screen and in person. . most from North Carolina
Linda and I enjoyed it and feel it is a good movie to see, especially for Methodists. There are several inspiring scenes.
Here is link. Info about Charlotte showing is near bottom of the page at the link

The director said they sent information to our church: I missed it if it is mentioned in our MPUMC communications. I saw an article in the paper and searched out the link.

Dear Ownbey Family, Got word from SUSAN MOBLEY and BILLY TOBIAS that the Care Team which we've had in place for DOTTIE is being disbanded... b/c she is doing sooo much better! (Other son) LARRY will be driving in on Sat. Nov. 14th to stay for 8 weeks, but our Team will stop official service before then. Billy wrote that he was able to sing in all 3 sanctuary services this past Sunday, leaving Dottie alone from 7:30 - 12:30, and she did fine! Yest'y she was able to prepare her own lunch -- reading directions, etc. Altho' our Care Team is no longer needed, please feel free to call and talk w/her, arrange your own visit, etc. Billy is hoping to bring her to choir practice tomorrow night :-) In class Sunday, CAROL DOUGLAS announced that soon she will be walking to church a lot more... b/c she is moving into The Carlton! And, get this: the unit is the one formerly inhabited by the Baxters :-) Her new address (after this coming Friday) will be: And, speaking of changes, we got word yest'y that ANN MAXWELL's e-address has changed Please update your SS file. Anything else, anyone?
