My mom and I went to Vern's 80th birthday celebration. I have fond memories of Vern and his wife, Liz, from the lake. A bunch of us took long daily walks together. We also went on Volksmarches. Have you heard of Volksmarches? They are 10 km marked hikes with points of interest along the way. Vern has long legs and long strides. It was hard to keep up with him.
Vern always has a smile too. He's just an all around nice guy! Happy Birthday Vern!
