Hi this is Lora again. For Dad’s celebration of life we are asking that everyone have a scoop of ice cream (or non dairy) to solute him on July 21, 2024. It’s national ice cream day 🙂 and if you are able make a small donation to one of these,

1. Villa Esperanza

2. AIDS Healthcare Foundation or donate to your local AIDS

https://www.aidshealth.org/donate/

3. Donate to your local no-kill shelter

Also donating blood and or platelets in his name would work!
Thank you all in advance :)

April 19th, 2024 at 5:17 am my father John G Trimble passed away.

John G Trimble
US Air Force - PFC - Korean War
John was born in the late 1930’s and grew up in Devils Lake, ND. He graduated from Poly High School in Long Beach, CA, and enlisted in the US Air Force on 5 April
1955. John attended Basic Training at Parks Air Force Base Pleasanton, CA. He reported to Edward Gary Air Force Base in San Marcos, TX, for eight weeks of helicopter mechanic school on the Sikorsky H-19 Chickasaws. John was assigned to the 2157th Air Rescue Squadron, stationed at Kempo Airfield K-14 Korea for six months until the squadron was transferred to the 39th Air Rescue Squadron, Ashia Japan, for 18 months. John deployed to many locations during this assignment, including a long visit to Tainan, Taiwan. One of his best memories was when the squadron rescued visiting US Boy Scouts stranded on a mountain in Taiwan. It took multiple trips to get all hands safely home.
John returned to the US to serve at Williams AFB in Chandler, AZ. He was retrained to be an Air Operations Specialist, maintaining flight records and dispatching aircraft.
John met his wife, Betty Jo (Bjo) under a piano at Forrest J Ackerman’s mansion, a friend they met thru Science Fiction fandom. They were married in July and would have celebrated 64 years of marriage. Their 3 children, Kathryn, Lora and Jenn have been a constant joy and the addition of husband to Lora, Jason and Jenn’s husband Chris have completed the family.
In 1966 they found a group of people interested in mediaeval combat and arts. They joined the Society of Creative Anachronism (SCA) . John served 2 terms as a member of it’s board of directors, was a landed Baron of the first Barony. His arms were the very first to be registered with the college of Heralds and both John and Bjo have been members ever since. Later that year he said to his wife, “Gee it’s a shame a good science fiction show like Star Trek is going to be canceled. We should do something about that!” And the same Star Trek campaign was born. For over 58 years John and Bjo Trimble have been ambassadors for science fiction, the space program and the SCA. Meeting and hosting people from all walks of life, all over the world.
John has touched thousands of lives in a way that positive and full of joy. He will be greatly missed.

Clever way to create something artistic for a large area. Not enough room, try smaller areas.

Hey it’s Lora here. So dad has Covid again. This will be his 4th time. They both could use some love 🙂 thx

Hi Lora here. I have a friend who is helping a kid with his school project and maybe some of you could help?
📝 Isaac's first grade class needs some help for a social studies project. They're looking for postcards from places outside of Waukee/Clive. If you can help out, let me know and I'll message the school's address.

From his teacher:

"We will begin a Social Studies unit about Geography after winter break. An activity that I would like to have students participate in is to have postcards sent to our classroom from all over the United States and the world. We would like to have postcards that highlight the geographical features of the place. I encourage you to contact five or more people who live outside of the Waukee area and ask them to send a postcard to our class (please make sure your child’s name is included somewhere in the postcard). Each postcard our class receives will be added to our board, and we will find the state/country from where it was sent on the map. This will be a great social studies activity for our kids!"

I told his mom that I’d send you the information. She sent me the school address that you should send the post card to (if you’re okay doing this). Here’s her message to me:

Hi, Ginny!

Here is Isaac's school info for the postcard project. Thank you so much! 💖💖💖

Thanks!

Fascinating new novel by Maria Grace, she of the Dragon stories. With only one chapter, I know that the rest of the story has much to offer.

Wrighting Old Wrongs, pt 1 - Random Bits of Fascination September 1870, Brighton England The loud and, if Rebecca was going to be honest, hideous clock ticked and whirred, giving fair warning that the wretched bird inside, more spectral raven than cuckoo, was about to burst onstage.

Bjo here: Well, I'm about caught up on my amazing 90th birthday. Thanks to Mike Okuda and daughter Lora Boehm, the cards, letters and flowers started coming in fast. Each mail delivery has been at least 2 inches thick of just the cards. The cards have ranged from beautiful to sweet to downright hilarious and I've appreciated all of them.

Thank you all for brightening my birthday like this. I will thank each of you, I promise.

Our three wonderful daughters arrived on Aug. 15 to take us out to the San Diego Zoo (one of our favorite places). We arrived before the zoo opened to go on a special Big Cat Experience tour. The weather was cool enough for the cats to be out looking for their morning treat: meatballs placed all over their enclosure.

We got a special treat: playful snow leopards! They leapt over each other, and stalked their fellow cats. They rolled around and pawed at each other. It was truly amazing and very enjoyable. These are our favorite big cats.

The day was a wonderful experience. Lora and Jenn took lots of photos that are - or will be - posted somewhere.

The day ended with Mexican dinner with the Jepson family. They are fellow SCA members. That's the Society for Creative Anachronism, a medieval re-enactment and educational organization.

Again, thanks to all who added to my birthday with so many cards and kind words! You can't know how very touched I am to know how many of you think well of me! -- Bjo Trimble

Hi! This coronet, sliver with pearls and amethyst stones was stolen from a friend of ours. Please cross post and let us know if someone sees it? Thanks!
