Lorraine Stripp: A life taken too soon by Alzheimer’s
To the Community,
It’s been nearly two years since my mom, Lorraine Stripp passed away. They have been the most painful and tear-filled years of my life. What I wouldn’t give for just one more hug, one more kiss, one more word of encouragement.
I miss her more than I ever thought possible—she was my champion, my rock, my source of strength. Each day gets a little better. Now, there are more good days than bad, and it’s comforting to know she and my brother Dave are watching over our family, never really too far away.
As you may have heard, this year’s Alzheimer’s Walk in Inlet is in memory of my mom. Come join my family and our friends on Saturday, June 15 and walk with us to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Association. Continue reading

Fresh, young blood attractive to hungry black flies
While growing up on Limekiln Lake, the month of June seemed to follow the same rhythm. In the beginning, the leaves started to green.
Then came the bugs—in the millions.
But at the end of the month the pesky bug season was just about over and a canopy of every shade of green imaginable had covered the forest.
It was the second week of June and my friend Eddie and I were hanging out together.
The black flies didn’t seem to bother either one of us, even though anyone who saw Eddie’s exposed neck that day would have described it as a messy, dried blood pincushion.
We even made a game out of counting our bites as we hiked around the backside of the lake to catch pollywogs.
We didn’t get started till after lunch because he had to finish up his chores. Continue reading
