I love flash mobs! If you do too, or if you simply find them interesting, you might enjoy this one.
It's a little different, as it takes place in a shopping center in Munich.

Enjoy!!!!

Great News from Rockport
by Dianne
We are so thankful and happy that as of today, 4/23/13, he is now home again in Rockport 35 with Lucille. They are anxious to return to Michigan but plan to stay for a while longer in Rockport since the weather in Michigan is not quite as pleasant as it is back in Texas.
Thanks to all who called and sent cards. Your thoughtfulness is greatly appreciated.

Ten weeks and five days ago Dick Carlson was admitted to
Christus Spohn Memorial Hospital in Corpus with fluid on his right lung and an
abscess in his liver area. Since that
first day, February 9th, he has been from Corpus to the Methodist Hospital in
Houston to Gulf Pointe Plaza in Rockport, back to Corpus then back to Gulf
Pointe again. He’s had great days with
great progress and then days that were not so good. He’s a tough guy with a strong will and that
sure made all the difference in his long road to recovery.

Gene Martin Passed Away
by Keith
Our neighbors on Third Street, at the corner with Main Street, were Gene and Vivian Martin. They were there two winters, 2009 and 2010. Because they were nearby neighbors and I found Gene a very congenial fellow with very interesting experiences, I have pictures of him in three settings.
The picture above was taken at the Valentine's Day Party in 2010. It pictures Gene as the Southern Gentleman that he was, along with the love of his life. What a great party that was! It's special for me because I have pictures of each couple who attended. The pictutres are a good memory aid to help me remember all the wonderful people who became our friends at Rockport 35 RV Park.
Here's Gene in a typical setting: out at the picnic table, having his morning coffee! He was always good for a friendly visit and willing to share some of his experiences. It's not everyday that you get to chat with a former professional wrestler!

Most are Home
by Keith
Most Winter Texans have now arrived at their summer nesting spots, including Pat and I. We arrived a week ago and devoted the entire week to completing the income tax forms and hitting the "Submit" button last evening.
We've heard from several friends from the park earlier, and some now on facebook, that they have arrived home safely. Sherrie and Larry being the latest in that category.
I'm not sure where their lake home is in MN, but I know our Wee Ones are in Silver Bay (that's even north of Duluth) this weekend and are enjoying a blizzard! Larry might have left TX too early!
On the way home, we came through the cities of Alice, Three Rivers, and George West. All were busy with oil field related businesses. The area is clearly enjoying an oil boom!
We're back home in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. We hope anyone going through or near will give us a call. We'd love to see friends from Rockport 35 RV Park!
We have a state park and a couple of county parks with RV facilities within ten miles of our house, if you're travelling with your RV.

Canadian Challenge
By Mike Lukens via Dianne
Mike Lukens lives on North 5th Street - west side; he has a boat, likes to fish, and often invites residents from the park to fish with him. I believe most people in the park know Mike. Sorry, I don't have his picture.
On a recent international excursion Mike had the pleasure of hosting the Manitoba vs. Ontario fishing challenge with Marvin Orloff representing Manitoba and Bob Deforge representing Ontario.
As Mike reported, this turned out to be the "biggest fish" challenge between Marvin and Bob. As you can see, Bob won. Marvin had a hard time giving up that buck, by the way. As shown in the photo it was not even Canadian currency. Marvin!
