HENDERSON: Thanks to all who helped get Frank home
After two weeks in beautiful Kauai, we are finally home. After three days of sightseeing and staying in a lovely timeshare along with John and Barb Chambers, Frank fell and broke his hip. For the next week, he was in the hospital over there. Finally got home on Dec. 20 and took him directly to rehab. After two weeks he was finally home on Jan. 3.
Thanks to John and Barb Chambers we got home safely, but not without John spending hours on the phone changing all of our travel plans, putting us in first class, and changing all of their travel plans. They even got our stay extended at their timeshare. They were truly our guardian angels. We don't know what we would have done without them.
A special thank you to Skip Hissong who came to the airport to help me bring Frank home.
A very special thank you to all who said so many prayers for us and for your concerns for Frank.

SCREENING: A success thanks to fans, supporters
To our Masterpiece Downton Abbey fans, supporters, and contributors to Idaho Public Television (IPTV), we extend a heartfelt "thank you" for your participation in North Idaho's first preview screening hosted by the Friends of Idaho Public Television. We loved your celebratory enthusiasm for the series and the time in history it depicts.
We are grateful to the businesses and individuals who helped make this grand occasion so special. They are: Hampton Inn and Suites at Riverstone for the perfect venue; Greenbriar Inn and 315 Martinis and Tapas for the very British hors d'oeuvres, wine bar, and gift certificate; Just Roses for floral arrangements; and last, but not least, staff at IPTV for supporting our efforts to host the preview screening.
No Downton event would be perfect without our own actors and "servant co-hosts," JJ Schindler and Becca Sims, and our expert judges of fashion of the time, Ms. Shirley Phipps and Ms. Rosemary Small of the Spokane Women's Club.
The best contribution of all came in the form of a seven piece string ensemble from students of the Coeur d'Alene Charter Academy with the assistance of Director Michael Harrison and their supporting cast of parents.
A final note of thanks goes to the Coeur d'Alene Press for their story on "Masterpiece Downton Abbey," and the event notice.
On behalf of all the North Idaho Friends of Public Television, Roger Grigg, Erna Rinehart, and Judy Meyer, we are grateful for the community support for what turned out to be a fun event.
