Published June 30, 2009 10:54 am - ETCETERA: Courier goes to Japan and a dance recital BY JUDY KRIEGER, COURIER EDITOR Thanks to Hugh and Rita McCoy of Ottumwa who remembered their Courier for their trip to Japan.
The couple was on a cruise which had four stops each in Japan and Alaska. The McCoys flew from San Francisco, Calif., to Osaka, Japan. On May 2, they got on the cruise ship Volendam. After traveling 5,698 nautical miles, the ship and its passengers docked May 20 in Vancouver, Canada. That sounds like an amazing vacation. Rita said while the couple was using the ship’s spa, the spa manager noticed their Ottumwa address. Lo and behold, she was Mindy McCombs, a 2002 graduate of Ottumwa High School! She is the daughter of former area residents, the Fred McCombs. It still surprises many of us of how small the world can be at times. q q q Former Ottumwa High School track athlete Brittany Berges took a Courier to East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, Tenn., where she competed in the NAIA Indoor Track National Championships earlier this spring. She was a member of the Oklahoma Christian University Eagles track team q q q Milly Morris-Amos is one proud grandma! She had hoped that her one and only grandchild, Hannah Marie Malloy, would be awake and helping to hold the Courier, but little Hannah slept through the photo session. Hannah’s uncle and aunt, Reece Amos and Cindy Brown, attended Hannah’s mother’s — Miss Connie’s Studio of Dance recital in Milwaukee, Wis. The backdrop of the recital was “Dancing in the Streets.” Connie Malloy did her last solo dance which included the splits at the end “and the audience awed at the sight of it — four months after having a baby,” Milly said. Hannah, and her parents, Connie and John Malloy, got to meet many Ottumwans recently at a baby shower at Hotel Ottumwa — a busy place with wedding receptions going on, too.
