days visiting Seattle the home of Richard and Diane Kurt. In spite of
rainy weather on Friday, they saw the Boeing Airplane assembly plant
in Everett, WA (the largest building in the world), the Bill Gates
home, the Microsoft “Campus,” the space needle, the Pike Street Market,
and had dinner with nieces and nephews Anne (Kurt) Somvi and Tom
and Heather Kurt. The weather improved on Saturday and they had
an opportunity to visit the Norwegian village of Poulsbo and lunched
at a restaurant in Bainbridge before attending Mass at the Indian
Reservation of Suquamish, where Indian Chief Seattle and his
family are buried. A good time was had by all.

Fair in Davenport. Cory got 2nd place out of 90 teams with a time of 7.20
seconds! CONGRATULATIONS CORY ! ! ! The Kurt family is mighty proud of
your accomplishments. Granpa Kurt was always a great rodeo fan and would
have applauded your achievements. Grandpa Kurt used to take his children
to the Mississippi Valley Fair Rodeos when they were kids.
Connie said that Cory is competing in a high school rodeo next weekend
at Mineral Point, Wisconsin. He'll be competing in team roping, calf roping
