Re: Dylan's new Starband ~Beth

[Guest guest]

Hi Beth:

Well hopefully I'll run into you somewhere, I certainly won't stare,

i'll just hunt you & DYlan down like a crazy lady Inside joke

amongst some of us old timers in the group. I've seen MANY banded

babies in the GR area since Abby wore hers in the past 3-4 yrs now.

You'll be surprised. Seen em at Family Fare in Byron Center, Kohl's

in Rivertown, JCPenny in Woodland on Abby's & my first trip out in

her band (YAY), Meijer on 54th, Playworld in Grandville, and I think

a couple more times!

I've heard great things about Ellie at MFB. Hope Dylan feels better

soon. Keep us posted on his progress!
