Lorna Sambor returned home from her trip to Minneapolis to visit her daughter Connie and grandson Mark. Highlights of the trip included attending a "Ponder, Harp, and Jennings" reunion concert. A added surprise that evening was running into Patty Philipenko and her husband at the concert. She also attended a "Booth Bros" concert in Mason City, Iowa, the "Church Basement Ladies" production at the Plymouth Playhouse, and the Daniel O'Donnell Concert. She was third in line to meet Daniel afterwards, which was a thrill. This included a photo and a kiss!

Lorna and Connie spent a day with Connie Strilcov Dunlap and her family when they were visiting there. On the way home they made a stop in Hoffman, MN. and visited with Lorna's cousin Roy Johnson.
