Lost in La-La land

Well, I've been away for a few years and thought I'd try to get folks interested in the blog again, perhaps. It's worth a try, eh?

I see that the Luther's Farm Market is open for business, and I so wish I could drop by and pick up some sweet corn. The best sweet corn in Ohio! Hurry on out there and say hi to Gale and the boys.

Missing Claudia

As most of you already know, Claudia passed away Feb. 19th after a difficult battle with cancer. If you wish to leave a personal message in her guest book on Legacy.com use this link: http://www.legacy.com/Cleveland/GB/GuestbookView.aspx?PersonId=86572130

The text of her obituary follows below:

Claudia Mazaros, aged 46 years, of Dacula, GA, beloved wife of Becky Rude, passed away February 19, 2007. Claudia was born in Cleveland, OH in 1960 to Elizabeth and the late Clarence “Babe” Mazaros. Surviving siblings include Connie McAleer, Gary (Fran) (Joyce, deceased), Craig (Toni), Glen (Linda), and Gale (Ed, deceased) Luther. Claudia received bachelors’ degrees from Kent State University (Geology) and Utah State University (Secondary Education), a Master’s degree from Weber State University (Secondary Education), and was a Ph.D. student at the University of Georgia (Reading Education) during the last three years of her life. She met Becky at Utah State University in 1990 and shared a loving partnership with her for nearly 17 years. Claudia loved living in Utah and had a passion for the mountains, desert, and forest, particularly the Dixie National Forest and Escalante, UT where she worked for many years with the U.S. Forest Service. She taught chemistry and physics at Bear River High School (Garland, UT) for ten years and achieved her goal to make a positive difference in the lives of many high school students. She lived a life of adventure and managed to visit all fifty states in the U.S. She made friends everywhere she went and will be missed by all. Becky and the Mazaros family would like to thank the Hospice of the Cleveland Clinic, Embracing Hospice in Snellville, GA, and the entire staff of the Suburban Hematology and Oncology Center in Lawrenceville, GA for all the care they gave to Claudia. Becky would like to extend her gratitude to the friends and family members who assisted in Claudia’s care during the last year, specifically Hristina Keranova, Tammy Ryan, Dan and Jill Rankin, Peg Meckling and Cindy Baker, Glen and Linda Mazaros, Jodie and Jerry Scott, and all the other Mazaros family members.

A Merry Mazaros Christmas

Christmas dinner was fabulous! Here's the Mazaros clan and guests, post dinner ... well fed and enjoying the gathering. If you'd like to zoom in on the picture, just put your cursor on the picture and click. For those of you who could not attend the Mazaros festivities, you were missed. The two gals sitting in front of Babe are Becky and Claudia's friends, Christine and Gena, visiting from Germany. They loved the family and had a wonderful time in the Mazaros home. Hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas day!

One person show?

OK, so nothing has inspired the rest of you to post here ... with the exception of Glen's single post. So I thought I'd try something that I know interests all of you. Food. If that doesn't work, then I'll try booze!!! That's sure to wake some of you up, at least until you finish the bottle. I hope to see a few more Mazaros' sign on and share their lives with us.

Other Authors

If any of you can think of someone who might enjoy posting here, and you don't see their name on the contributor's list, please let me know, send me their e-mail address, and I'll try to get them signed up, too. I was wondering if Chris and Mike had an e-mail account? I know Stepfanie has one, but I seem to have misplaced it.

Eddie Luther

I was very sad to hear about Eddie's death last night. My thoughts are with Gale and the boys, today. They have had so much to deal with since Eddie was first diagnosed with ALS - more than kids their age should have to deal with. Gale has shown the world what an incredible person she really is, and has impressed me with her strength, determination, love, and sense of humor through the best and worst of the last four years (and beyond). I hope the whole family can heal quickly and get all the support they need to cope with their loss.
