Kathy Stimac works for a Medicare call center in Lawrence. Thursday she was talking on the phone to a woman who suddenly seemed hysterical. Kathy asked her what was wrong and she said a plane had just landed in the Hudson River. She had seen it from her window. The same day, on another call from New York, Kathy was put on hold while the lady answered a call on her cell phone from a woman who thought the building where the first woman’s sister lived was on fire, but it turned out to be close by. The woman came back on the line and explained to Kathy what had happened. Small world.

Jesse Barnett visited Thamar Barnett on Sunday.

On Saturday, Bid Sheppard went with Bob and Sara Aufdemberge of Auburn to a double birthday party for Lacey and Tawny Aufdemberge at the home of their parents, Joel and Theresa Aufdemberge, Leavenworth.
