Wright/Cromwell news

As of May 15, I have completed all my cancer treatments. The staff at the infusion center at St. Luke’s gave me an unexpected sendoff. They gave me a small lap quilt, a “St. Luke’s Survivor” hat pin, a certificate of completion, and sang “Happy Graduation to You.” Now my cancer journey is complete, barring any more health issues.

This past year has gone by fast, but at the time I was getting chemo and radiation, it seemed like I would never be done. Again, my sincere thanks for all the prayers, gifts, meals and help over this time.

I especially want to thank all the nurses, doctors, and staff at St. Luke’s. They made this journey memorable, and I couldn’t be more proud and thankful for all they did for me and all they do for others in my situation. I met so many great folks along the way. I will miss them, but since I must check in every three months, I will get to see them from time to time.

Cromwell-Wright High School held its graduation ceremony on May 17. There were more than 30 graduates this year and, from what I hear, it was a very special graduation for all involved. Congratulations to the Class of 2024.

The Cromwell-Wright yearbooks are at the school, so if you didn’t get yours yet, stop in and pick them up. I’m not sure if there are any extras, but you can ask.

This Memorial Day, May 27, the Floodwood VFW and Auxiliary will honor our veterans at the city park in Wright at 12 p.m. Lunch will follow at the Bethlehem Lutheran Church. They will be honoring Don Hutar and Marvin Aho this year.

The Carlton VFW and Auxiliary will be at the Eagle Lake Cemetery at 7:45 a.m. and at the Cromwell Forest Hill Cemetery at 8:10 a.m.

The Arrowhead Library System’s Bookmobile visits Cromwell’s City Park 12:30-1 p.m. Tuesday, May 28.

That’s all the news from the Edge of Wright.
