March 17, 2005 - HayPatch, UT -- After 18 months in New Mexico
captivity, Sister Erin Oakeson was released back into mainstream
society on March 9th, 2005.
For those of you new to this site, please refer to the
happenings of September 2003 for further information about the
recent whereabouts of Sister Oakeson.
The return of this lovely missionary was fraught with much concern.
When would she arrive? Was she going to be on time? Will she look
the same? The wait at the airport was excruciatingly long for some,
but was filled with much laughter and excitement.
Andrea and Sarah try to pick Erin's
face out of the crowd.
   
  
After reviewing and re-reviewing the arrival board, there was just
seconds before Erin (aka "Orrin", aka Fortuneless Hatch) would show
at the terminal gates.

Using your mouse pointer, point to
where you think you see Erin. If you're correct, a larger version of
the photo will appear. Good luck! |

|
| Finally! We saw what looked *somewhat* like Erin.
But, wait, was that really her? The vision on the escalator was a
raven haired beauty. When she was last seen, her hair was sandy
brown. Could it be her? Yes, it was her! Hugging commenced.
|
   
 |
|
Erin's Grandma
Marshall is ecstatic to see her. |
After the hugging subsided, the eagerly anticipated Sister was
surrounded by her waiting public. All ears and eyes were on her as
she told tales of her Albuquerque & Cortez visits.

| After the chatter at the airport, chatter at at
home, and followed by Erin's "release" from her missionary duties,
the group headed off for a late lunch at "Old Home" also known as
"Golden Corral." From the latest reports, it appears Erin is
assimilating back into society quite nicely.

HayPatch Hit by Late Night Toilet Papering! |
|
March 17, 2005 - HayPatch, UT -- In what appears to
be related to Erin's return, the HayPatch was hit late Friday night
by a toilet paper thrower with a wicked pitching arm.
   |
| The paper tossing culprit has not come forward.
It's unfortunate, as we have been informed that the responsible
party would be guaranteed a position on the Salt Lake Stingers
pitching staff. |

| March 17, 2005 - Near HayPatch, UT -- At a hotly
contested battle for the right to be called Utah State High School
Chess Champions, the Oakeson's pulled together at the last minute
and sold much needed sugar, caffeine, and salt to the teenage board
game enthusiasts. Proceeds from the sales at the makeshift snack
counter will go to support the Granite High School chess club.
