My Tribute to Arthur E. Krenn...
My Name: Ken 'Jake' Jaccard
My Email: admin@krennpapers.com
My Tribute:
+ My
dear friend Artey, here it is, another year, and you now have been gone 7 months and 10 days. Time sure does pass
fast. I think of you often, Artey. Wish you were here again so we could discuss the condition of the country and
how much it has digressed since the last time we talked.. But sadly, there is no phone service where you are, and
rightly so, since you’d never be able to get anything done with all the phone calls you’d be getting from all of
those who love and miss you down here. I know that more important WORK goes on where you are, and that too much
mourning your passing by those who love you here, hinders your progress and ability to move on. So all of those
of your family who read this should be aware of this, so we don’t keep you from finding the Peace you so much need
and deserve, after all these years of troubled Waters. Life here doesn’t get any better; in fact it gets slowly
but surely worse. The country isn’t any better, in fact, it’s getting slowing worse and worse. There is no one
to write to the Fond du Lac Newspaper any more complaining how the government is not doing their job. Edmund Burke
said, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” – so we, as good people
must continue to do our part in voting and keeping evil men from these important positions in government, but your
grand-daughter Tammy will be writing to the newspaper for you, now as your Proxy for so she vowed she would do.
I know she will keep the vigil for you, while you are away. We also know that your being ‘Away’ will not always
be so. One day we all will be together again with those who mean the most to us. Family is forever. No other group
of people understand this, than the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons). I, being
one, tried my hardest to impress this truth on you while we talked on the Phone and wrote our letters… so now I
am placing it here so all your family members may realize that Families truly are Eternal. And we can be together
in those Sacred Units again, if we work hard at it. So rest in Peace, dear friend. Your Family all misses you as
I do also. Your friends think of you often. Here it would have been 16 years since we became friends back in 1992.
That friendship will continue on forever, as we promised each other. Not many years down the pike, and I’ll be
coming there too. The 15th of July marks my 65th birthday. Time passes so fast.. I do so long to join with you
there. May God keep us until then. Ken ‘Jake’ Jaccard, Winchester, Tennessee, Friend, Brother and Web Yeoman since
1995.

My Tribute to Arthur E. Krenn...
My Name: Tammy
My Email: 3bevans@charter.net
My Tribute:
+ Letter
to Editor for you pup pup I faced the first Memorial Day without my beloved Grandfather Arthur "Arte"
Krenn. On Memorial Day it was 6 months to-the-day, the good Lord took him away. On that day, there was one less
Veteran in the Memorial Day Parade. The family and I want to give a big thank you to Wayne and Bill Geis who bore
signage on their Army jeeps, (in memory of my Grandfather) in the Parade. We also want to thank John Stateson (also
a good friend to Grandfather) who rode in Wayne's Army Jeep - not only as a WWII Veteran himself, but also in honor
of his friend. These same Army jeeps led my Grandfather's hearse to his grave. Grandfather would always write Letters
to the Editor. Most of the time, I didn't even read them when they were published. When he would get on his "soap
box" about politics and the world, I would just roll my eyes. Now, I believe many (not all) of his ideas and
opinions to be true. Before 911, I wasn't very political. After 911, I began educating myself. In spirit of my
Grandfather, I will from time to time try to write a Letter to the Editor in his memory. I owe him that much. I
am tired of the big oil companies getting blamed for the price of gas. As any other business they are entitled
to make a profit. As demand increases in the world (China) more crude is produced. The more output the bigger the
profit. Economics 101. OPEC and the stock market are driving gas prices. As you know, we are far too dependent
on foreign oil. We are funding the very terrorism we are trying to fight. They are holding us “hostage”, right?
Wrong. The problem in our country is the "tree huggers" as Grandfather would call them. I call them environmentalists.
The big oil companies WANT to drill more oil in our country. They want to drill off the shores of California, Florida,
and Alaska. We are sitting on one of the world's largest oil reserves in Alaska on the 19 million acres of oil
rich land in the "Artic National Wildlife Refuge" (ANWR). The "tree huggers" protested when
the Alaska Pipe Line was built, because they thought it would impact wildlife. This never happened. But, still
the environmentalists say NO WAY to more drilling. 19 million acres is a lot of space to share. The deer and the
antelope can still play. We aren't allowed to build any more nuclear power plants, or refineries in this country.
Everyone screams for alternate energy, until a wind energy farm is in your back yard. I have had the opportunity
to see the wind farms on the east side of the lake, as well as the wind farm to the south. I think they are beautiful
to behold, and something we should all appreciate and be proud of. As far as I know, there have been no problems
to the Ethiopian birds migrating to the Horicon Marsh (no offense to those of you who tried to stop the farm).
My husband and I both commute to our jobs. We are gas hogs. We have always had large gas bills. However we are
paying more for gas a month than our mortgage. We have looked at other options, believe me. Anywhere to moving,
buying more fuel efficient vehicles, etc. However, for many personal reasons, it is impossible for us to make any
changes at this time. We are stuck and being held “hostage” by the "tree huggers". I was thinking about
cutting down a tree (facing the "tree huggers" wrath) and making a canoe out of it - so I could paddle
my way up to Appleton. But I lost the paddle......... Tree huggers shout "preserve the planet's resources".
Well, if we aren't tapping into oil here - we are tapping it from somewhere else – and the last time I checked
- we all live on the same planet (I think). Devoted Granddaughter & Gas Hog Tammy Abel-Bevan
