HAPPY BIRTHDAY, REESE DEVAN ERICKSON

The first day of the month is a special one and June 1 is special for our nephew, Devan and Michelle Erickson.  On that day in 2000 their second son was born.  Reese is Alan and Judy's third and their youngest grandson.

Reese's early years were spent in Frontier.  Then the family moved to Redcliff, AB and that was home for several years. Last fall Devan's job took them back to SW Saskatchewan when Shaunavon became home for them.

Reese's passion is playing hockey.  In April he played in a tournament in Swift Current and had a game against our grandson, Dawson.  Wish I could have been there!  He played soccer in Redcliff and won a sportsmanship award at the school's year end awards night.  Here's a quote from Michelle from their 2010 Christmas letter - "Reese is our forever sweet boy.  He is so kind and empathetic to everyone.  The kids and animals flock to his gentle nature." We hope you stay this way, Reese, in spite of being a hockey player!

Here's wishing you a very Happy 11th Birthday, Reese.  We look forward to seeing you and getting to know you better at the Erickson reunion at Cypress Park in July.  See you there!
