Christmas 2013
Jerry recuperated from the ruptured Achilles tendon after his surgery.
Unfortunately, he became plagued with plantar fasciitis which hampered his skiing for 2013. Arlene had to ski without him and went to Big Sky Montana with her friends instead of him. But this coming 2014 we have 2 ski trips planned. One trip will be to Sunday River Maine and the other to Big White in British Columbia Canada. Jerry is still suffering with the plantar fasciitis. Hopefully with physical therapy and him being a good boy he will get better. We are still volunteering on the Intrepid but a little more sporadic because he
can’t stand on his feet too long. The Intrepid did another interview with him but it has not been published as of yet. It is being prepared for the Library of Congress. In celebration of the Intrepid’s 70th Anniversary, Jerry was privileged to throw out the first pitch at a Brooklyn Cyclone’s game in Coney Island. Janine, Bob & our three grandkids were there with us along with several of Jerry’s cousins. This year the Sportsman’s Foundation for Military Families sponsored a free hunt
for Jerry, Arlene & Justin. We flew down to Florida to take advantage of the three day stay to Boar Hunt. Jerry and Justin bagged one each. For Arlene it was exciting to sit next to Jerry and watch him take down the hog. He also did get a doe this year. After all he had to make up for last year’s failure. We also took a cruise on the Queen Mary 2 to Boston and Halifax during the July 4th week. Our daughter-in-law Kristen has written another book which is in the process of
being published. It should come out in the fall of 2014. Our son-in-law Bob moved one of his Chiropractic offices into a larger facility. Our children Justin (still working as commander for the Public Health Service) and Janine (working part time for Bob) are very supportive of their spouses. We are also proud of all our grandchildren. They are doing so well in school and getting bigger each year. As we celebrate this Holiday let us be mindful of the real reason for the Season.
May our Savior bless each and everyone and grant you good health in the New Year. Lovingly,
Jerry & Arlene Feola arlenefeola@si.rr.com
