Our referrals continue to be one of the best ways clients find us, and we deeply appreciate it! for your trust and confidence. Thank you My wife, Kathy, and I tried to carry on the tradition of nighttime reading to our four children. One of the first books I remember reading to our kids was Richard Scarry’s illustrated book, “I Am a Bunny.” We read the book so often, my youngest daughter Katie (now a lawyer at FSTN), told people when she grew up she wanted to be a black bunny rabbit. B y the time you receive our June newsletter, hopefully you will be enjoying warm, beautiful summer days. If you have children or grandchildren, you may be concerned about how you can enhance their education during summer vacation. I have a suggestion I guarantee will help your kids or grandkids become better students and lifelong learners while providing you with a lifetime of memories. Some of my fondest memories as a child are of my mother reading to me every night. My dad was a coal miner. He worked the second shift and didn’t get home from work until around midnight. We lived out in the country, and I think my mom was afraid to go to bed until my dad got home, so she read to me until I fell asleep. I thought she was a wonderful reader, and her reading filled my evenings with joy from books that I wanted her to read over and over again.
I’m sure many of you vividly recall how much your children enjoyed classics such as Dr. Seuss’“Green Eggs and Ham” and “The Cat in the Hat.” My daughters were particularly fond of Norman Bridwell’s “Clifford the Big Red Dog,” and the book we would read to them when they were arguing was “The Berenstain Bears Get in a Fight.”
As our kids got older, their book requests naturally
changed. We read “Nancy Drew,”“The Hardy Boys,” and “The Black Stallion” series. Other favorites were the “Little House” books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. I usually read one chapter each night. The “Little House” books were so good, I would often continue reading after the child being read to had fallen asleep. Finally, the last book series I remember reading to my kids was “Harry Potter.” The life lessons “Harry Potter” taught were amazing. It makes me happy to learn that studies show the “Harry Potter” books help kids become more responsible, caring, self-loving adults. I was just trying to enjoy time with my kids; I didn’t realize I was helping them become better adults. Now we have two young grandsons (4 years old and 9 months old), and we feel privileged to start the reading cycle once again. Unfortunately, not all children are read to by their parents or caregivers. If you don’t read to your child or grandchildren, start this summer. You’ll love it, and so will they. Just don’t tell them your reading to them is going to 1) set them up to succeed; 2) develop language skills; 3) exercise their brains; 4) enhance their concentration; 5) develop imagination and creativity; 6) develop empathy; and 7) be a great way for you and them to relax, enjoy each other’s company, and create stronger bonds.

This Father’s Day, thousands of dads will receive a “No. 1 Dad”mug to sip coffee out of at the office. But the following dads took that“No. 1”to a new level. Brian Munn gave his son a liver transplant. When doctors discovered that baby Caleb Munn had a rare disease called biliary atresia, they told his parents that he was unlikely to survive past age 2 without a liver transplant. Luckily, his father was a perfect match, and he eagerly donated part of his liver in March of 2015 to save his son’s life. Greg Alexander battled a bear for his son’s life. While camping in the backcountry of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Greg Alexander was startled awake at dawn by the screams of his FSTN in the Community After a year-long fundraising effort, we were very pleased to make a $5,000 donation to the Wabash Valley Health Center (WVHC). These funds went toward the expansion of their dental department to help serve more people in our community. WVHC is a low- to no-cost local health clinic that provides general medical care, dental care, mental health care, physical therapy, and more. We are so proud to support this local facility.
16-year-old son, Gabriel. He rushed out of his hammock to see a black bear dragging his son away by the head. Without hesitation, he kicked the beast in the side, and when that didn’t work, he leapt onto its back and started punching it in the face. When the bear finally released Gabriel, Greg threw rocks until it fled. His son was hurt but made a full recovery in the hospital over the coming weeks. Artur Magomedov saved his daughters from ISIS. Artur Magomedov was devastated to discover that his wife had taken his 3- and 10-year-old daughters from their home in Dagestan under the cover of night, flown to Turkey, and crossed into Syria to join ISIS. But he resolved to get his kids back. After a long, hazardous journey, he arrived in Tabqa to embrace his two daughters. To leave the caliphate
— under penalty of death — they hitched a ride to the border one night and crawled along a railway line until they were within 70 meters of the border. Then they ran under fire from Turkish border guards until they could scramble into tall grasses. After some help from the Russian consulate in Istanbul, they made it back home, together again and safe.

Cut Down on Flight Costs With This Simple Rule
The Best Time to Book a Flight Save Big on Airfare With This Simple Rule
In case you haven’t noticed, traveling is expensive. It can feel like you’re signing away your soul when you sit down to plan a vacation. But when it comes to flights, there’s good news: They’re getting cheaper! According to a 2017 report published by online travel company ODIGEO, long-distance trips across Europe fell 7 percent last year. Luckily, the same trend is reflected in North American airlines as they engage in a price war to woo a growing base of ultrafrugal travelers. Still, a $600 summer flight to Honolulu isn’t exactly pocket change. What’s worse, flight prices are slippery; CheapAir.com’s 2017 Annual Airfare Study determined that the fares for any given trip go up or down an average of 71 times, about $33 each shift. When you purchase your flight is nearly as important as where you’re going. But how do you choose a booking window that will maximize your savings?
According to the CheapAir.com study, in which they evaluated 921 million airfares, the best time to book is 21–105 days in advance of your flight, on average. If you want to get even more specific, try to book 55–75 days out, and book on a Sunday. Many travelers swear by Tuesday andWednesday bookings, but as Condé Nast Traveler reports, Expedia and the Airlines Reporting Corporation say that Sunday is the way to go, based on data from billions of flights. Tuesday and Wednesday are usually the cheapest days to actually fly though. The CheapAir.com study also pinpoints the absolute best windows for specific seasons: 54 days for winter trips, 75 days for spring, 76 days for summer, and 45 days for fall. Of course, these are averages, but if you stick to these rules and check fares regularly on sites like Kayak.com, SkyScanner.com, Momondo.com, and on the handy app Hopper, you can rest easy knowing you’re getting close to the best price possible.
